API gateways are part of every modern microservice architecture. As their name already suggests, they are the gateway into your system; everyone who wants to access your service has to go through a gateway. In 2019, AWS announced HTTP APIs for its API Gateway (APIG) service. This was a big step to add more flexibility and lower latency to APIG. Before this release, you could only build REST APIs with APIG, which only helped when you wanted to create an API based on the REST architecture.

SAN FRANCISCO, June 15, 2022 – InfluxData, creator of the leading time series platform InfluxDB, today announced Edge Data Replication, a new capability for centralized business insights in widely distributed environments. Edge Data Replication enables developers to collect, store and analyze high-precision time series data in InfluxDB at the edge, while replicating all or subsets of this data into InfluxDB Cloud.

There are technical and business reasons to have a time series data presence both at the edge and in the cloud – InfluxDB has always played a key role in both contexts. Today, we’re announcing Edge Data Replication, a new feature that combines these two deployment strategies. With this announcement, InfluxData begins a greater initiative to accommodate both edge and cloud data workloads in one unified solution.
