InfluxDB is an open source time series database (TSDB) that excels in handling monitoring data, application metrics, Internet of Things (IoT) sensor readings and real time analytics. Developed primarily in Go, it is designed to deliver outstanding performance and efficient storage. InfluxDB can ingest thousands of data points each second, which makes it an excellent choice for industrial grade applications.

Once your data is stored, you can query and analyse it using the Flux language. Flux is an integral component of InfluxDB that enables advanced data manipulation and offers deep insights into your metrics.
