InfluxData has announced the deployment of its next-generation time series engine, built on top of the open source project InfluxDB IOx, which delivers faster queries, unlimited time series data, and introduces SQL support for writing queries and BI tool support. The new storage engine is designed to handle high-volume data ingestion with unbounded cardinality, optimized for real-time analytics use cases, and enables developers to query data immediately after it's written, often measured in milliseconds. With the addition of SQL language support, InfluxDB now meets developers where they are, allowing them to work in yet another language they love, raising the bar for time series analytics. The new engine doubles down on scale and performance, enabling its largest customers to collect, store, and intelligently orchestrate massive time series data workloads.
