Streaming time series data from brokers and services that are on-premises or in the cloud to a cloud-based database is a resource-intensive process requiring third-party software and heavy customizations. Today we’re announcing InfluxDB Native Collectors to make it easy for developers to collect, process, and analyze data by subscribing directly to supported message brokers.

SAN FRANCISCO — August 23, 2022 – InfluxData, creator of the leading time series platform InfluxDB, today announced new serverless capabilities to expedite time series data collection, processing, and storage in InfluxDB Cloud. InfluxDB Native Collectors enable developers building with InfluxDB Cloud to subscribe to, process, transform, and store real-time data from messaging and other public and private brokers and queues with a click of a button.

Today we are happy to officially announce that InfluxData has donated a generic object store implementation to the Apache Arrow project. Using this crate, the same code can easily interact with AWS S3, Azure Blob Storage, Google Cloud Storage, local files, memory, and more by a simple runtime configuration change. You can find the latest release on crates.io. We expect this will accelerate the pace of innovation within the Rust ecosystem.

InfluxDB is an open-source time series database. Built to handle enormous volumes of time-stamped data produced from IoT devices to enterprise applications. As data sources for InfluxDB can exist in many different situations and scenarios, providing different ways to get data into InfluxDB is essential. The InfluxDB client libraries are language-specific packages that integrate with the InfluxDB v2 API. These libraries give users a powerful method of sending, querying, and managing InfluxDB.

We love to write and ship code to help developers bring their ideas and projects to life. That’s why we’re constantly working on improving our product to meet developers where they are, to ensure their happiness, and accelerate Time to Awesome. This week, we are covering a featured product release that we think will save you time and effort when onboarding to time series and InfluxDB.

You may be familiar with live examples of machine learning (ML) and deep learning (DL) technologies, like face recognition, optical character recognition OCR, the Python language translator, and natural language search (NLS). But now, DL and ML are working toward predicting things like the stock market, weather and credit fraud with astounding accuracy.

Cloud native and microservice architectures bring many advantages in terms of performance, scalability, and reliability, but one thing they can also bring is complexity. Having requests move between services can make debugging much more challenging and many of the past rules for monitoring applications don’t work well. This is made even more difficult by the fact that cloud services are inherently ephemeral, with containers constantly being spun up and spun down.

InfluxDB has over a dozen different client libraries to help developers work with time series data in whatever programming language they like best. The Python client library is one of our most popular options. It’s simple to learn, and working with InfluxDB in a language you’re comfortable with helps you get started doing powerful time series analysis quickly.
