Summary

InfluxDB 3 Core and Enterprise, two new products from InfluxData, are now in beta. InfluxDB 3 Core is an open source product with a recent-data engine that collects and processes data in real-time, while persisting it to local disk or object storage. InfluxDB 3 Enterprise adds high availability, read replicas, enhanced security, and data compaction for faster queries. The beta version includes improvements such as write-through caching, a processing engine, and simplifying multi-server enterprise clusters. During the beta phase, users can expect stable APIs, seamless upgrades, and weekly releases with associated changelogs. The embedded Python VM, which is part of the processing engine, is still considered alpha software and is expected to be fine-tuned based on user feedback. The products are expected to reach general availability in late April.
