InfluxDB is an open-source time series database built in Rust on Apache Arrow, DataFusion, and Parquet, designed for high-velocity ingest and fast queries over metrics, events, and real-time analytics. It supports SQL, InfluxQL, and Flight SQL query interfaces, stores data as Parquet on object storage or local disk, and is compatible with InfluxDB 1.x/2.x write APIs.
Use cases
- store and query server and application performance metrics
- monitor IoT sensor data in real time
- build dashboards over high-resolution time series data
- analyze financial market and trading data
- collect network monitoring telemetry
- run behavioral analytics on event streams
When to choose
- you need a purpose-built time series database with millisecond query latency for dashboards
- you ingest millions of data points per second from telemetry, edge devices, or monitoring agents
- you want Parquet-based storage with object storage (S3, Azure, GCP) backing and no heavy dependencies
- you need compatibility with existing InfluxDB 1.x/2.x write pipelines or Telegraf
When to avoid
- your workload is relational with complex joins and transactions rather than time series
- you need full SQL feature coverage or strong ACID transactional guarantees
- you require long-term retention of all data in the free Core edition, which evicts older data
- you want a fully managed database without self-hosting or cloud vendor lock-in considerations
