Summary
This tutorial teaches how to use JavaScript and InfluxDB together for reading a data stream, storing it as a time series into InfluxDB, and running queries over the data using InfluxDB's JavaScript client library. The code is available on GitHub. Time series databases like InfluxDB are specialized in handling high-volume streaming data. The tutorial also covers how to install the required libraries, make a connection with InfluxDB, insert data into it, and query data from it. It uses real-world examples of server-side events provided by the Wikimedia Foundation.
