Summary

InfluxDB Clustered is the next evolution of InfluxDB Enterprise, a self-hosted and self-managed instance of InfluxDB designed for large enterprises that require high performance, control over their data and infrastructure, and enterprise-grade security. It leverages Kubernetes fundamentals and allows customers to fine-tune their database controls to meet specific requirements, with customization options including environments and workload tuning based on individual criteria. InfluxDB 3.0 is built on Apache Arrow, an in-memory columnar format, providing real-time query responses and low latency analytical query responses, while also persisting data as Apache Parquet files for high compression and cost savings benefits. The DataFusion query engine brings native SQL support to InfluxDB 3.0, delivering fast results even when querying across longer time ranges, and unlocking new use cases such as storing metrics, events, and traces with unlimited cardinality.
