We love to write and ship code to help developers bring their ideas and projects to life. That’s why we’re constantly working on improving our product to meet developers where they are, to ensure their happiness, and accelerate Time to Awesome. This week, we are covering a product release that helps all InfluxDB Cloud UI users get more from their graphs.
If you’re an InfluxDB user you’ve almost certainly used the join() function. The join() function performs an inner join of two table streams. It’s most commonly used to perform math across measurements. However, now it is deprecated in favor of the join.inner() function which is part of the new join package. With the addition of the join package, Flux now has the ability to perform the following types of joins: A visualization of different types of joins from this article.
MQTT is becoming the standard protocol for applications that operate in environments where network connectivity is intermittent or unreliable, reducing bandwidth usage is a priority, or where hardware resources are limited. In this post you will learn about some specific use cases where businesses are seeing value from making MQTT part of their tech stack.
Databases are often the biggest bottleneck when it comes to application performance. Over the years a number of new database designs have emerged to help with not only basic scalability and performance but also to help improve developer productivity and make building certain types of applications easier. That isn’t to say these new databases are magical — there are always trade-offs being made and certain things are sacrificed for gains in other areas.
