InfluxDB 3.7 is now available for both Core and Enterprise, landing alongside version 1.5 of the InfluxDB 3 Explorer UI. This release focuses on giving developers faster visibility into what their system is doing with one-click monitoring, a streamlined installation pathway, and broader updates that simplify day-to-day operations. InfluxDB 3 Core is free and open source, optimized for recent data, and licensed under MIT and Apache 2.

InfluxDB Cloud Dedicated provides hosted and managed InfluxDB Cloud clusters in a single-tenant environment and is optimized to handle high write and query loads. Today, InfluxData is releasing a visual overhaul and new features for its Admin UI. Among the recent updates are live observability for customer clusters, overhauled site navigation, and improved visibility into table schemas.

Aerospace systems operate in one of the most unforgiving environments imaginable. Each flight test, orbital maneuver, or satellite transmission subjects avionics, propulsion systems, sensors, and telemetry hardware to extreme conditions. Even a minor failure can cascade into grounded aircraft, interrupted communications, or compromised missions.

Getting started with any database technology can be daunting, and nothing is ever as easy as a snap of the fingers. With InfluxDB 3, we’ve made it as painless as possible. If you want to do some testing, development, or exploration, you’ve read the title: you should be up and running in under 10 minutes with very little hassle.

Learn how to visualize time series data from InfluxDB 3 Core using popular open source Apache Superset. This tutorial walks you through setting up both systems with Docker, writing sample IoT data, and creating your first visualization. For more information about Apache Superset, this article may be helpful.

As machines and systems grow more connected and complex, the traditional toolbox for managing them feels increasingly outdated. Engineers and operators need new approaches that match the realities of software-driven products and data-intensive environments. Digital twins provide that leap forward. By creating a virtual model of a physical asset and continuously feeding it with real-time data, digital twins reveal both current performance and likely future outcomes.

InfluxDB 3.6 is now available for both Core and Enterprise. This release introduces the 1.4 update to InfluxDB 3 Explorer, featuring the beta launch of Ask AI, along with new capabilities for simple startup and expanded functionality in the Processing Engine. InfluxDB 3 Core is free and open source, optimized for recent data, and licensed under MIT and Apache 2. InfluxDB 3 Enterprise extends Core with long-term data retention, clustering, fine-grained security, and management capabilities.

The Distinct Value Cache (DVC) available with InfluxDB 3 Core and InfluxDB 3 Enterprise lets you cache distinct values of specific columns and query those values in under 30ms. The DVC is an in-memory cache that stores distinct values of one or more columns in a table. It is typically used to cache distinct tag values, but you can also cache distinct field values.

The challenge of storing, processing, and alerting on your time series data is only part of the battle when it comes to deriving value from time-stamped data. While InfluxDB 3 addresses those hurdles with the database and Python processing engine, data analytics teams still need to be able to visualize their data and build dashboards to complete the time series story.

In 2025, the database ecosystem is more diverse and interconnected than ever before. From AI-assisted natural language queries that analyze your data to open table formats that make it easy to bridge systems, data infrastructure is moving towards openness, intelligence, and composability. Modern databases are no longer isolated systems; they are part of a broader ecosystem where interoperability is as important as performance.
