InfluxDB is highly performant; its data ingestion rate surpasses millions of data points per second. It timestamps events and metrics from databases, sensors, queues and networks using the Telegraf server agent. Defined policies control data retention and downsample conditions to conserve storage space. 

InfluxDB runs on multiple cloud architectures through Amazon Web Services (AWS), Google Cloud, and Azure, or on laptops, edge devices, and servers. 

Time series analysis is enhanced through InfluxDB user interface (UI), monitoring, and dashboard creation tools. Data combined with an SQL database like Postgres, Microsoft SQL Server, Bigtable, or Amazon Athena. The Flux query language supports Reading, evaluating, Printing, and looping (REPL) to run queries and interact with any datasource. Connectors are available for Vistual Studio Code (VSC) Grafana, Thingworx, and Google Data Studio.
