Summary

InfluxDB 3 Core, a recent-data engine for time series and event data, is now available for alpha testing as an open source product under the MIT/Apache 2 License. InfluxDB 3 Enterprise adds historical query capability, read replicas, high availability, scalability, and fine-grained security to Core's foundation. The products are built on more than four years of development using the FDAP stack (Apache Flight, DataFusion, Arrow, and Parquet) and deliver a powerful SQL query engine with unlimited cardinality, native object storage support, and fast recent data processing capabilities. InfluxDB 3 Core operates in "diskless" mode, using object storage as the only persistence layer, enabling more dynamic operating environments and seamless access to third-party systems. The product includes features such as fast recent data processing, last value cache, distinct value cache, and a plugin system with embedded Python for plugins and triggers, which enables custom data collection, real-time monitoring, integration with third-party services, scheduled task execution, downsampling, aggregation, and HTTP endpoint creation. InfluxDB 3 Enterprise adds high availability configuration, read replicas, enhanced security features, historical data compaction, row-level delete support, and an integrated admin UI. The products are designed for operational simplicity and compatibility with previous InfluxDB versions, while the FDAP stack enables a state-of-the-art, high-performance SQL engine with parser, planner, optimizer, and vectorized execution.
