The future of InfluxData platform and InfluxDB is being shaped by its evolution into a comprehensive platform for working with time series data, rather than just a database. This vision was driven by the company's early success in solving common problems faced by developers using its initial "time series API". The platform now aims to enable developers to build solutions much faster by providing tools for collecting, processing, monitoring, and visualizing time series data. A new query language called Flux has been developed to work with time series data, which is designed to be more flexible and powerful than SQL, but also easy to learn and use. The platform will unify its various components behind a common API, allowing developers to interact with the system using gRPC, REST, or GraphQL. With this goal in mind, InfluxData plans to invest heavily in delivering on its promise of making developers far more productive when working with metrics and events.
