Maybe you came across the term “vector database” and are wondering whether it’s the new kid on the block of data retrieval systems. Maybe you are confused by conflicting claims about vector databases. The truth is, the approach used by vector databases has been around for a few years.
If we turn the clocks back to September 2013, we released InfluxQL alongside InfluxDB. InfluxQL is a SQL-like query language, specifically designed to query time series data. For many of our users, InfluxQL still remains the primary way they interact with InfluxDB. Based on this feedback, InfluxQL has been reborn in InfluxDB 3.0 alongside native support for the SQL query language. So what do I mean by reborn?

On July 4th we celebrate. We celebrate freedom of movement, freedom of assembly, removal of excessive taxation, and much, much more. But what about digital independence? Removing the tyrannical yoke of control over your observability data. Authoritarian vendors restrict access and movement; they dictate proprietary formatting and even limit what can be commingled with your data, then apply enormous tax burdens (i.e. license fees) just to store your data.
“Time is money” couldn’t be truer than in managing cloud costs. By way of proactive anomaly detection, a chance is given to save time that could have been spent on issue recognition and resolution. Anomaly detection for the Cloud can be tricky since there can be changes in prices & data on billing history anytime. Not to mention, seasonality can mess things up as well.
We recently introduced a new version of InfluxDB, rewritten from the ground up to improve performance across the board. As with any undertaking of this nature, developers will need to make some adjustments to their applications in order to incorporate the new database. We even faced this challenge internally. We had many Telegraf instances sending data to legacy versions of InfluxDB.
This post was written by Pete Osah, a software developer who is familiar with web technologies, passionate about new software technologies, and keen on developing ways to pass knowledge to others in a simple manner. Thanks to new technologies, developers can release software and features to production at a faster pace and with greater efficiency. But maintaining software dependability and integrity requires having the necessary tools in place.
Bitcoin and Coinbase have been in some hot water lately. How they handle cryptocurrency might not be legal or safe. The lack of regulations is causing concern from the government about potential criminal activity, fraud, and money laundering. The good news? Rules are being implemented for crypto exchanges to stop corrupt events from happening. Regulations like Know Your Customer (KYC) are an absolute must for exchanges to keep operating legally.
