InfluxDB is a time series database designed to store and retrieve time-stamped data on measurements or events collected over a specified period of time. It's fast, easy to use with no dependencies, offers multiple data compression algorithms, and works with open-source Telegraf plugins for better developer experience. To set up InfluxDB with a Dart application, users need to install the InfluxDB client library, launch InfluxDB via HTTPS, and connect the client library to InfluxDB. The client library can be used to insert, read, update, and delete data in InfluxDB. It's recommended to use SSL/TLS when connecting to the database and update it whenever possible. InfluxDB provides detailed insights into app users and traffic types, helping businesses make informed decisions.
