Edge Data Replication: Contributions and Status Updates for InfluxDB 3

InfluxDB 3 Core and Enterprise now support a Python-based plugin engine, which enables users to run Python code inside the database, triggered by various events such as WAL flush, schedule, or manual request. This allows for flexible data processing, transformation, and replication capabilities. A community-built EDR plugin is available for immediate use, replicating data from an edge instance to a remote InfluxDB Cloud bucket, while also offering features like table filtering and downsampling via aggregate_interval. The official EDR plugin is expected to be released soon, with additional features such as filtering, renaming, and retry logic.
