In a previous post, we described the technique that makes the ”most recent values” queries hundreds of times faster and has benefited many of our customers. The idea behind this technique is to progressively evaluate time-organized files until we reach the most recent values.

We have added a new function, tz, to InfluxDB 3.0 SQL to improve the ergonomics of working with timezones. This blog post will provide more details on how to use this function and when it makes sense to use it instead of the existing SQL timezone functions.

In the first blog in this series, Setting Up InfluxDB and Visualizing Data: Part 1, we built a data collection and visualization platform for time series data using InfluxDB Cloud Serverless. Inspired by the CSTR with PID controllers use case, the project showcased how to ingest real-time data and visualize it using InfluxDB and Grafana. This follow-up post focuses on InfluxDB’s 3.0 architecture, giving an in-depth look at the platform’s inner workings.

We are excited to announce the launch of User Groups, a major update that facilitates enhanced security through access control in InfluxDB Cloud Dedicated. This new feature allows for more granular access management by limiting limited access accounts. Giving customers more access control helps them implement PoLP (“Principle of Least Privilege”) for improved security.

The demand for LLM is rapidly increasing—it’s estimated that there will be 750 million apps using LLMs by 2025. As a result, the need for LLM observability and monitoring tools is also rising. In this blog, we’ll dive into what LLM monitoring and observability are, why they’re both crucial and how we can track various metrics to ensure our model isn’t just working but thriving.

As an InfluxDB Cloud Dedicated or Clustered user, you may want to inspect your cluster to gain a better understanding of the size of your databases, tables, partitions, and compaction status. InfluxDB stores this essential metadata in system tables (described in Section 1), which help inform decisions about cluster performance and maintenance.

Next.js is one of the most popular open source web frameworks for hosting web applications; however, performance monitoring of such applications, until now, has been a mystery. Whether you’re hosting Next.js apps yourself or via third party services like Vercel, it’s always helpful to know how the application is performing to make it more efficient and deliver a pleasant user experience.

Veteran developers and staff engineers at InfluxData, Nga Tran and Andrew Lamb, discuss what it was like to rewrite InfluxDB for version 3.0. Several factors prevent companies, especially startups, from rewriting their products. But what does the process look like once a company embarks on a rewrite? And how do they balance innovation with user feedback?

To the unfamiliar, building with open source tools may seem like the kind of chaos that leads to Boaty McBoatface-like decisions. Andrew Lamb, staff engineer at InfluxData and PMC for the Apache DataFusion project, provides insight from a developer and a PMC perspective about what it's like to build with, and manage a major open source project. InfluxData recently rebuilt its core database using Apache projects: Flight, DataFusion, Arrow, and Parquet, dubbed the FDAP stack.

Companies are committed to delivering on higher levels of customer satisfaction for their online services. Unfortunately, many organizations trying to support these initiatives take an interrupt-driven approach where they scramble to fix things when they break. However, to manage to these high levels of SLAs, you should take a structured approach in order to reduce the amount of unscheduled downtime by proactively monitoring and managing your systems.
