Summary

InfluxData has announced Edge Data Replication, a new capability that combines the power of cloud with the precision of IoT edge to optimize time series data processing. This new feature enables developers to collect, store and analyze high-precision time series data in InfluxDB at the edge, while replicating all or subsets of this data into InfluxDB Cloud. Edge Data Replication is designed to address the challenges of managing large volumes of time series data across distributed environments, particularly in IoT applications where data is often generated at the edge. By leveraging Edge Data Replication, developers can integrate edge and cloud data operations, reduce cloud ingress and egress costs, transform data before transfer, enforce edge/cloud consistency, and support full data workflow at the edge. The feature is available immediately for InfluxDB users and is expected to simplify the process of building IoT applications with real-time insights and control.
