In the IoT world, general-purpose databases are insufficient to handle the constant stream of time series data that needs to be collected, measured, and acted upon in real-time or near-real-time. The need for a purpose-built Time Series Platform has become increasingly necessary as more devices are being instrumented to collect data. This is leading companies to adopt a data-driven business model, where data analysis and decision-making are critical components. InfluxData Platform is introduced as a solution that can effectively manage time series data, enabling businesses to make timely decisions based on real-time or near-real-time insights.
