In this tutorial, we’ll explore how Bytewax can seamlessly integrate with InfluxDB to tackle a common challenge: downsampling. Whether you’re dealing with IoT data, DevOps monitoring, or any time series metrics, downsampling (or materialized views) is your key to managing your time series data for long-term storage without losing essential trends. Bytewax is an open source Python framework for building highly scalable dataflows to process any data stream.

Time series databases are designed to store and analyze data collected at specified points in time. They’re essential for applications that handle huge amounts of continuously generated data, such as Internet of Things (IoT) devices, system monitors, and financial systems. InfluxDB, an open source time series database known for its outstanding performance and scalability, has gained popularity due to its capacity to manage large amounts of time-stamped data.

With the increased adoption of the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), connected devices and sensors generate vast amounts of data, and you’ll need an effective way to capture, store, and visualize all of it. With effective data visualization and analysis, you can transform raw data into actionable insights and make informed decisions. This post will break down tools like Grafana, Node-RED, and time series databases, including their benefits to your IIoT workload.

We recently adjusted how we handle “partial writes” with our InfluxDB Cloud Serverless product using the v2 Write API. This only applies to InfluxDB Cloud Serverless customers (those who created their Cloud accounts after January 31, 2023). In the near future, we will make this change for InfluxDB Cloud Dedicated and InfluxDB Clustered customers as well.

I run a small Kubernetes cluster at home, which I originally set up as somewhere to experiment. Because it started as a playground, I never bothered to set up monitoring. However, as time passed, I’ve ended up dropping more production-esque workloads onto it, so I decided I should probably put some observability in place. Not having visibility into the cluster was actually a little odd, considering that even my fish tank can page me.

The state of industries has come a long way since the Industrial Revolution with new technologies such as smart devices, the internet, and the cloud. The Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) is a network of industrial components that share and process data to gain insights. But as IIoT involves sensitive data and life-critical operations, this also comes with various IIoT cloud security challenges. Therefore, it is important to strengthen security.

Veteran developers and staff engineers at InfluxData, Nga Tran and Andrew Lamb, have an honest conversation about dealing with software bugs. Bugs can be frustrating, but they can also be thrilling. They are a sign that people are actually using your software - and that's a good thing! Andrew and Nga talk through a recent bug their team encountered, how they approached resolving the issue, and what considerations go into building a permanent fix.

Veteran developers and staff engineers at InfluxData, Nga Tran and Andrew Lamb, discuss what it was like to rewrite InfluxDB for version 3.0. Several factors prevent companies, especially startups, from rewriting their products. But what does the process look like once a company embarks on a rewrite? And how do they balance innovation with user feedback?

To the unfamiliar, building with open source tools may seem like the kind of chaos that leads to Boaty McBoatface-like decisions. Andrew Lamb, staff engineer at InfluxData and PMC for the Apache DataFusion project, provides insight from a developer and a PMC perspective about what it's like to build with, and manage a major open source project. InfluxData recently rebuilt its core database using Apache projects: Flight, DataFusion, Arrow, and Parquet, dubbed the FDAP stack.

Companies are committed to delivering on higher levels of customer satisfaction for their online services. Unfortunately, many organizations trying to support these initiatives take an interrupt-driven approach where they scramble to fix things when they break. However, to manage to these high levels of SLAs, you should take a structured approach in order to reduce the amount of unscheduled downtime by proactively monitoring and managing your systems.
