The InfluxData team has announced the immediate availability of InfluxDB 1.0 Beta, marking a significant point in the development of this time-series database and its related components, including Telegraf, Chronograf, and Kapacitor. The release is considered stable enough for production use, with many bug fixes and new features, such as exponential smoothing via Holt Winters queries and templates for Kapacitor TICKscripts. This beta marks a major step forward in the development of these projects, which have been running in production at significant scale for months. The team plans to lock down the API and make a commitment to zero breaking changes for a significant length of time, making it suitable for organizations building products on top of the InfluxData stack. Future releases will include new features such as improved rollups and aggregations, integration with query engines, and updates to indexing schemes. The team is confident that time-series data will become increasingly relevant across a broader spectrum of use cases, and InfluxDB 1.0 matters for its role in enabling real-time analytics, DevOps monitoring, and Internet of Things/sensor data.
