What's New in InfluxDB 3.3: Managed Plugins, Explorer Updates, and More

InfluxDB 3.3 is now available for both Core and Enterprise, which introduces new managed plugins for the Processing Engine, making it easier to address common time series tasks with just a plugin. On top of that, 3.3 includes a wide range of performance improvements, feature updates, and bug fixes. InfluxDB 3 Core is free and open source, optimized for recent data, and licensed under MIT and Apache 2.

Real-Time Flight Telemetry Monitoring with InfluxDB 3 Enterprise

When Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 generates telemetry data at 30-60 FPS, capturing and processing that stream in real-time becomes a fascinating engineering challenge. We built a complete telemetry pipeline that reads over 90 flight parameters through FSUIPC, streams them to InfluxDB 3 Enterprise, and displays them in real-time dashboards that respond in under 5 milliseconds.

How Smart Companies Use Analytics to Keep Workers Happy

In today's high-pressure work environments, mental health is more than a personal concern. It's a business priority. As stress-related challenges surge, companies are turning to data-driven wellness strategies to provide real, measurable support. This article explores how smart technology and holistic interventions are reshaping employee well-being and driving better outcomes for both individuals and organizations.

Why don't Kafka and Iceberg get along?

Kafka and Iceberg is a costly marriage of inconvenience. If you write code for a living you’ve probably heard of Apache Iceberg - but you might not realise the detour your Kafka events must take to get there. Typically a Kafka message written to an Iceberg table must take a journey via a connector, rack up transfer fees, and idle in a sidecar before it appears as an Iceberg table—hardly the friction‑free flow open table formats promise.

How Organisations Can Provide Uniform Learning Across Diverse Teams

It is a significant challenge for companies globally in today's rapidly evolving business environment to have consistent learning standards across diverse teams. Strategic planning and effective technology solutions are required to ensure that each employee is given the same quality of training and development as distant working becomes increasingly prevalent and teams are split between multiple locations. The key is to implement systematic approaches that standardise learning without ignoring team dynamics and individual learning styles.

Ingest, Explore, Validate: A Quickstart with InfluxDB 3 Enterprise and Explorer UI

Great observability doesn’t just collect metrics—it tells you exactly what’s broken, why it’s broken, and what to do about it. InfluxDB 3 Enterprise delivers this through real-time ingestion, fast queries, and scalable storage. InfluxDB 3 Explorer provides the intuitive interface your team needs for database management, data ingestion, querying, and visualization without the usual complexity.

Snowflake data visualization: all the latest features to monitor metrics, enhance security, and more

In 2020, we introduced the Snowflake Enterprise data source for Grafana, allowing users to seamlessly pull data from the Snowflake cloud-based data storage and analytics service into Grafana dashboards. Available for Grafana Enterprise and Grafana Cloud users, it’s a powerful way to not only query and visualize Snowlake data, but to do so alongside other data sources, so you can discover correlations and other meaningful insights within minutes.
