One year of InfluxDB and the road to 1.0

InfluxDB, an open-source time series database, has come a long way in its first year since its inception. The project's genesis was sparked by the need to build a real-time metrics and monitoring SaaS application called Errplane, which ultimately led to the creation of InfluxDB. After working on Errplane for two years, the team made the decision to pivot towards an open-source time series database, driven by the realization that many companies were struggling with similar issues in their own projects. The project gained significant traction, with over 2,500 servers reporting usage within a day, and attracted contributions from numerous developers worldwide. With this momentum, InfluxDB is now poised for its next phase, aiming to reach version 1.0, which will focus on stability, production use, and API maturity.
