The Eclipse IoT Developer Survey results highlight Google's declining market share in IoT development, with Azure and AWS dominating the field. Data collection and analytics have become a top concern for IoT developers, surpassing security concerns. InfluxDB is seen as a strong contender in this area, offering flexibility and ease of use. The survey also shows that traditional SQL databases like MySQL are still dominant, while Time Series Databases are gaining popularity. MongoDB's performance is questioned due to its slow ingestion rate, query duration, and disk usage compared to InfluxDB. The results suggest that using the right tool for the job is crucial in IoT development, and InfluxDB is well-suited for time series data.
