Summary

The InfluxDB Cloud team has released a new query experience with a revamped interface that aims to improve user comfort and productivity. The new editor includes a schema browser, allowing users to select data directly from the hierarchical view of their schema, and auto-generated Flux code is always displayed to the user. This change enables users to start building queries more easily, without having to toggle between different windows. The new interface also provides an instructional interface to help users learn the InfluxDB data model, a load/save feature for saving and retrieving queries, and improved performance handling large datasets. Additionally, the new editor includes features such as search/filter result table, time range selection, query statistics, and multi-language support, with plans for future additions like SQL support and aggregations.
