InfluxDB 3 on Amazon Timestream for InfluxDB: Real-Time Performance, Now Fully Managed on AWS

Today, we’re announcing a major milestone for developers building the next generation of intelligent, real-time systems: InfluxDB 3 is available on Amazon Timestream for InfluxDB, now the default time series database offered directly in the AWS Management Console. This brings InfluxDB 3, our next-generation time series database, directly into the AWS ecosystem for the first time.

Get Kafka-Nated Ep 8: Realistic Synthetic Streaming Data w/ Michael Drogalis

Get Kafka-Nated Ep. 8 Wednesday, October 15th 2025 Guest Focus: Founder of ShadowTraffic, former Confluent stream-processing lead (Kafka Streams, ksqlDB), creator of the Onyx Platform Michael Drogalis joins host Hugh Evans to unpack one of the toughest challenges in stream processing: creating realistic synthetic test data for Kafka. Michael founded ShadowTraffic after leading Kafka Streams and ksqlDB at Confluent and building open-source stream systems like Onyx.

Distributed Historian Architecture with InfluxDB 3

From pipelines to warehouses, modern operations generate more distributed data than ever, with equipment and connected devices spread across factories, grids, and remote sites. A single, centralized historian can no longer handle this volume or distribution. Without change, organizations risk fragmented visibility, higher costs, and slower responses.

UUIDv7 will make it easy to query your PG data! It's also Python Compatible!

AIVEN DATA PLATFORM The Aiven Platform is more than a collection of open source services for streaming, storing and analyzing data. The platform ensures that all services run reliably and securely in the clouds of your choice, are observable, and can easily be integrated with each other and with external 3rd party tools.

Exploring PostgreSQL 18's new UUIDv7 support

Should you use UUIDs as the primary key in your database? You might have heard they are terrible for performance, which is often true for traditional UUIDv4. However, the introduction of UUIDv7 fixes many of the previous issues of UUIDv4. Let’s therefore explore what they are and why it might be a good idea to use them.

From Data to Dashboards: Building Streamlit Applications with InfluxDB 3

Python developers often reach for Streamlit when they need to construct compelling web applications quickly. It provides a fast way to transform Python scripts into interactive applications without complex web frameworks. When paired with InfluxDB 3 Core, the leading time series database, engineers can build powerful real-time analytics dashboards entirely in Python.

Kafka's 80% Problem

Kafka is too expensive and complex for 80% of users. Most Kafka usage is small-data - ~60% of clusters are sub-1 MB/s, yet teams pay big-data prices. Diskless (KIP-1150), Tiered, and Iceberg topics give Apache Kafka multiple storage classes, but they’re advanced storage primitives. They are powerful in the hands of seasoned platform teams but too complex for beginners.

How Technology Improves Commercial HVAC Efficiency

Efficient heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems are important for maintaining comfortable, healthy, and cost-effective commercial spaces. As energy costs rise and environmental concerns grow, businesses are increasingly looking for innovative ways to optimize their HVAC operations. Technological advancements are transforming how systems are monitored, controlled, and maintained, resulting in improved performance and lower operating costs.
