Summary

InfluxDB 3 Enterprise offers an enhanced version of InfluxDB 3 Core, designed to support production workloads with features such as high availability, long-range query support, and advanced security measures. Upgrading to Enterprise is a seamless process due to its modern architecture and simple installation, allowing users to scale their time series infrastructure effectively. Key benefits include fast queries over large historical data ranges, multi-node deployment with read replicas and dedicated roles, and improved security through fine-grained access controls and expiring tokens. The Enterprise version supports over 100 databases and 10,000 tables, with a read/write separation to enhance performance by isolating workloads. The software separates compute from storage, allowing data to be stored independently in Parquet files via local or remote storage options like AWS S3, Azure Blob, or Google Cloud Storage. Licensing for InfluxDB 3 Enterprise is based on the number of CPU cores per cluster, offering different capabilities and restrictions depending on the license type, with a free 30-day trial and an option for a home-use free license. Users can easily transition from Core to Enterprise without moving data, and the system supports scalability through cloud storage and multi-node setups.
