When Your Plant Talks Back: Conversational AI with InfluxDB 3

Mar 10, 2026 By Suyash Joshi In InfluxData

The linked article is still a great guide for cloud-first IoT prototyping as it shows how quickly you can connect devices, store time series data, and build dashboards in the cloud with the previous version of InfluxDB. But this time, the goal was different.

From Reactive to Predictive: Preserving BESS Uptime at Scale

Mar 5, 2026 By Allyson Boate In InfluxData
Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) operate as revenue-generating grid assets that capture surplus electricity, deploy power during demand spikes, and support frequency control. By shifting energy across time, they stabilize grid conditions, enable renewable integration, and execute market dispatch commitments. When systems respond as designed, stored capacity becomes a flexible, monetizable supply. But BESS performance depends on precision and availability.

Deterministic Simulation Testing in Diskless Apache Kafka

Mar 5, 2026 By Ivan Yurchenko In Aiven
Aiven put Diskless Kafka through 2,200 logical hours of chaos testing using Antithesis. Here's how it held up. Testing is a necessary pillar in any software development lifecycle. At the same time, it's a fundamentally incomplete process - a cat-and-mouse game.
