Paul will outline his vision around the platform and give the latest updates on Flux (a new Data Scripting language), the decoupling of query and storage, the impact of hybrid cloud environments on architecture, cardinality, and discuss the technical directions of the platform. This talk will walk through the vision and architecture with demonstrations of working prototypes of the projects.

Scientific python programmers adore Pandas due to its many functionalities. In particular, for data manipulation and analysis it offers handy data structures and operations for numerical tables and time series. Combined with the rest of the SciPy stack and scikit-learn (e.g. for Machine Learning Analysis), multiple goals can be achieved. When it comes to on-line data analysis, interaction, or simple data navigation by multiple users, the SciPy stack can be stressed to its limits.

The new Flux (formerly IFQL) super-charges queries both for analytics and data science. David gave a quick overview of the language features as well as the moving parts for a working deployment. Grafana is an open source dashboard solution that shares Flux’s passion for analytics and data science. For that reason, they are very excited to showcase the new Flux support within Grafana, and a couple of common analytics use cases to get the most out of your data.

Chronograf is the visualization tool for the TICK Stack that makes getting started with your Time Series Database easy. Tim will share best practices around using templates and libraries with Chronograf as well as share some exciting roadmap updates.

At Amazon, we created a collection of machine learning algorithms that scale to any amount of data, including k-means clustering for data segmentation, factorization machines for recommendations, and time-series forecasting. This talk will discuss those algorithms, understand where and how they can be used, and our design choices.

The presentation gives an overview on how InfluxDB is involved in the CERN critical projects such as monitoring of accelerator systems, experiments and data centers. It goes into details of the monitoring system upgrade of one of the LHC (Large Hadron Collider) experiments – ALICE.

Sean will demonstrate how Sensu 2.0 is designed to collect monitoring and telemetry data from these heterogeneous environments and store them in InfluxDB. Sensu 2.0 is the next release of the open source monitoring framework, rewritten in Go, with new capabilities and reduced operational overhead. Using Sensu alongside InfluxDB, Sean will go over various patterns of data collection, including scraping Prometheus metrics, and show how Sensu enables self-service data collection for service owners.

Kapacitor is the brains of the TICK Stack. Nathaniel will cover the stream processing capabilities of Kapacitor, how to process data before it gets stored in InfluxDB and after it is stored, best practices around anomaly detection and machine learning. In addition, Nathaniel will discuss how to configure the clustered version of Kapacitor.

At Outlyer, an infrastructure monitoring tool, we had to build our own TSDB back in 2015 to support our service. Two years later, we decided to take a different direction after seeing for ourselves how hard it is to build and scale a TSDB. This talk will review our journey, the challenges we hit trying to scale a TSDB for large customers and hopefully talk some people out of trying to build one themselves because it is not easy!
