Webinar Highlight: Introducing InfluxDB’s New Time Series Database Engine

InfluxDB Cloud, powered by IOx, is now available in two AWS regions, Frankfurt, Germany, and Virginia, USA. This columnar database, built on Apache Arrow with cloud environments in mind, supports SQL natively and includes native InfluxQL support, enabling unlimited cardinality. The underlying design and architecture of IOx removes the cardinality problem, allowing developers to scale compute layers dynamically without manual work. Rust is used for its fine-grain control over memory, safety, and concurrent applications. Apache Arrow Flight SQL is seen as the new standard for database systems, with InfluxDB Cloud leveraging it for data transfer between clients and servers. The database uses object storage for persistence and Apache Parquet as the persistent format. A demo was provided by Balaji Palani, VP of Product Marketing, showcasing the new Data Explorer and Apache Superset visualizations, while Q&A session addressed various benefits and features of InfluxDB Cloud, powered by IOx.
