InfluxDB Cloud, powered by IOx, is a significant release that aims to be fast for large time series workloads, with features such as fast queries for leading-edge data, fast ingest of massive amounts of data, and smallest possible on-disk footprint. The engine leverages the Apache Arrow project to enable users to write time-series-specific queries using a familiar language (SQL) and their tool(s) of choice. This approach to open source truly enables the community by providing components to assemble high-performance databases. InfluxDB IOx also embraces emerging standards, such as SQL query language, Parquet, and Flight SQL, which allows cooperation with other developers and companies to satisfy all types of users. Additionally, it supports Apache Superset, a full-featured BI/dashboarding tool that is part of the Apache foundation. The release aims to simplify data querying, making it easier for users to write time-series-specific queries without worrying about cardinality concerns. InfluxDB IOx is designed to process large time series workloads quickly and efficiently, with support for popular libraries such as Pandas, Plotly Express, and Neural Prophet. Overall, the release offers significant benefits, including better performance on bigger workloads, support for all team's favorite tools, and a deeper commitment to open source.
