The Advantage of Cold Storage in InfluxDB

InfluxDB 3.0 introduces a separation of storage and compute, with hot and cold storage tiers, where frequently queried data resides in the hot tier, while less frequently accessed data is moved to cold storage, which uses data compression techniques such as Apache Arrow and Parquet file format to optimize storage costs, utilizing low-cost cloud object storage for final storage, resulting in significant cost savings of 90% or more.
