Additionally, InfluxDB 2.0 includes a powerful background processing system called Tasks, real-time alerting and notifications, modern GitOps workflows via InfluxDB Stacks and Templates, and a common API that provides a consistent experience across all products. The platform is designed to be scalable, secure, and easy to use, making it an attractive option for developers and businesses looking to build modern applications with data.
