InfluxData has announced a new partnership with Google Cloud to host its time series database InfluxDB, which is one of the most popular open source databases. The explosion of machine data from various sources has created new use cases demanding time series analysis. To address this, InfluxDB 2.0 introduces a built-in data scripting and query language called Flux, which aims to decouple the query language from the database, providing a solution for community growth.
