The InfluxData company has released the 1.2 version of its TICK stack with improved performance, usability, and reliability, as well as an updated Enterprise edition with enhanced backup and restore capabilities. This marks a significant milestone in the company's goal to become the platform of record for developers and architects building real-time IoT, analytics, and monitoring applications. To support this ambitious objective, InfluxData has added two new executives, Tim Hall and Mark Herring, who bring extensive experience from leading Open Source Enterprise Apache Hadoop implementations. With their help, the company aims to improve its products, processes, and community engagement, ultimately reducing time to value for developers and increasing awareness of the use of time-series data platforms.
