Every IoT use case is a time series use case
IoT - Internet of Things - is increasingly broad. IoT sensors, systems, and applications generate data that change over time. The exponential scale of IoT sensor deployment requires high storage and heavy data processing, and crosses nearly every industry from agriculture to oil & gas, to power generation, to consumer goods, and transportation
Built for developers, the InfluxDB platform is central to many IoT solutions providing high throughput data ingestion, high data compression and real-time querying of that same data.
Easy to build, scales automatically, free to start
Why InfluxDB
Purpose-built
We built InfluxDB 3.0 as a columnar data structure on Apache Arrow, making it more scalable, resilient, and performant than ever before. Ingest and query data at massive scale to power real-time analytics applications.
Understand InfluxDB 3.0 architectureVibrant ecosystem of tools for builders
Build with InfluxDB 3.0 in the way that suits you best. Use familiar languages (like SQL), tools (Grafana, Tableau and Apache Superset), and open ecosystems to simplify data pipelines, build and integrate applications faster, and maximize the value of time series data.
Open data access
In InfluxDB 3.0, data is stored as Parquet files. An open data sharing specification like Iceberg / Delta Sharing allows direct access to these files for analytics, BI, and ML workloads. This eliminates data siloes and simplifies integration of time series data into modern data stacks without complex ETL pipelines.
Reduced total cost of ownership
InfluxDB 3.0 saves data as Apache Parquet files. Take advantage of Parquet’s superior data compression to store more high fidelity data in less space, which reduces your total costs of ownership.
Save on Data Storage CostsSecure and reliable
InfluxDB 3.0 encrypts data at rest and in motion so it’s always safe. It complies with SOC 2 Type II standards, and has ISO/IEC 27001:2013 and ISO/IEC 27018:2019 certifications.
Connect InfluxDB to your systems
Maximize your productivity with familiar tools, including a RESTful API, 12+ client libraries, open source integrations, and native SQL support.
Connect to Google Data Studio, and other BI or data warehouses with open source ODBC and JDBC plugins based on Flight SQL.
