InfluxData's Head of Product Marketing Navdeep Sidhu discusses the growing adoption of Time Series Platforms across industries, driven by recent technology trends and the need for organizations to leverage AI/ML-driven smart apps. The growth is spurred by four key use cases: DevOps, IoT, Microservices, and Real-Time Analytics, which require handling large amounts of metrics and events. These platforms are becoming increasingly important as they enable organizations to turn to AI/ML-driven smart apps and continue to grow with the requirements of predictive analytics and newer app architectures.
