⁠What is InfluxDB?

InfluxDB⁠ is an open source time series database with no external dependencies. It's useful for recording metrics, events, and performing analytics.

⁠Features

• Built-in HTTP API⁠ so you don't have to write any server side code to get up and running.
• Data can be tagged, allowing very flexible querying.
• SQL-like query language.
• Simple to install and manage, and fast to get data in and out.
• It aims to answer queries in real-time. That means every data point is indexed as it comes in and is immediately available in queries that should return in < 100ms.
