InfluxDB has recently released version 0.9.4 with new features such as the top function and order by time desc, allowing users to better analyze their data. The company is also presenting at upcoming meetups in San Francisco, Denver, and Chicago, where they will share knowledge on using InfluxDB for SQL DBAs and other topics. Users can get answers to common questions about aggregating data over specific time periods and shutting down the database gracefully through official tutorials and documentation. Additionally, InfluxDB is seeking submissions from companies using their product in production, offering a "thank you" gift of an InfluxDB hoodie and stickers for featured entries.
