InfluxDB Cloud and InfluxDB provide businesses with the ability to give their edge devices autonomy to collect, process, and act on data locally, while also maintaining centralized storage and analysis in the cloud. Data replication helps users get the data they need, where they need it, by automatically sending data from the edge to the cloud for real-time processing and analysis. This method is automatic, durable, and reliable, allowing businesses to tailor their data for different user needs, transform data before sending it to the cloud, and reduce storage costs.
