Transform Data with the New Python Processing Engine in InfluxDB 3

In early January, we announced the launch of InfluxDB 3 Core and InfluxDB 3 Enterprise in public alpha. One of the newest included features is the InfluxDB 3 Processing Engine–a Python-based VM built to enable data transformation, enrichment, downsampling, alerting, and more, all from within the database itself. One month later, we’re excited to deliver a big update enabling new ways to interact with and transform your data.

Logging vs. Metrics

When discussing observability, the “big 3” - logs, metrics, and traces, always get mentioned. But for some, more data doesn’t always mean better. Our lead engineer, JJ, had some advice to share about how logs may not be necessary for everyone. Simplifying your observability stack isn’t difficult - you just need to be intentional with implementation. Check out more MetricFire blog posts below, and our hosted Graphite service!
