With native SQL support coming to InfluxDB, we can broaden the scope of developer tools used to analyze and visualize our time series data. One of these tools is Apache Superset. So let’s break down the basics of what Superset is, look at its features and benefits, and run a quick demo of Superset in action.

As a data professional, I often think about all the things around me generating data and consider where this data is ultimately being used. Have you ever taken a minute to consider exactly how much data is being generated at any point in time? I love collecting data and looking at ways it can be used and living in a “smart” home with appliances logging and reporting usage patterns certainly provides a lot of opportunities.

At this year’s InfluxDays event, the capabilities of InfluxDB took center stage. It’s not enough to simply deploy a technology platform and hope people will use it. This isn’t a Kevin Costner movie. That’s why it’s helpful to talk about specific use cases, their typical challenges, and how InfluxDB can address those challenges. Fortunately, that’s just what Influxer Charles Mahler did for network monitoring.

At some point if you’re working with data, you’ll probably want to be able to visualize it with different types of charts and organize those charts with dashboards. You’ll also need somewhere to store that data so it can be queried efficiently. One of the most popular combinations for storing and visualizing time series data is Grafana and InfluxDB.

I recently chatted with one of our InfluxDB Cloud customers, Rune Labs, to discuss how they’re using this purpose-built time series platform. Every customer has a unique story — I love sharing their stories as well as their Telegraf, InfluxDB, and Flux tips and tricks. Keep reading to learn about Rune Labs’ approach to precision neurology, and learn from Engineering Manager Carolyn Ranti how they are using InfluxDB to collect sensor data.

Are your Apache Impala queries running slow and not achieving peak performance? Given Impala’s complexity, troubleshooting can be very difficult. Optimizing query performance is near impossible without the right tools. Good news: Pepperdata Query Spotlight now supports Apache Impala.

With the release of InfluxDB’s new storage engine for InfluxDB Cloud, InfluxDB Cloud now supports SQL. This is because the updated InfluxDB uses the Apache Arrow DataFusion project as a key building block for its query execution engine. DataFusion’s sophisticated query optimizations support near unlimited cardinality data in InfluxDB Cloud.
