Case Study : InfluxDB
- 1. Case Study : InfluxDB By:- Omkar Powar (1853002)
- 2. Introduction What is InfluxDB Cloud? It’s a fast, elastic, serverless real-time monitoring platform, dashboarding engine, analytics service and event and metrics processor. InfluxData 1.x The InfluxData 1.x platform includes the following open source components (TICK stack): ● Telegraf: collect data ● InfluxDB: store data ● Chronograf: visualize data ● Kapacitor: process data and alerts InfluxDB 2.0 The InfluxDB 2.0 platform consolidates components from the InfluxData 1.x platform into a single packaged solution, with added features and flexibility: ● InfluxDB 2.0 OSS: open source platform solution in a single binary ● InfluxDB Cloud 2.0 (commercial offering): hosted cloud solution
- 3. Why use InfluxDB Cloud? Time to awesome InfluxDB Cloud provides you with the fastest time to results. You can get up and running in minutes and easily scale your project as needed. It’s purpose-built and optimized for time to awesome. Powerful wizards walk you through setup and you’re connected with recommended dashboards for the most common use cases. Serverless–elastic scalability InfluxDB Cloud is a cloud-native application that scales elastically with you. The workload demands fluctuate, and InfluxDB Cloud offers real-time observability at any scale. No need to choose a size of machine, or go through the pain of estimating usage; plus, usage-based pricing ensures you only pay for what you use. InfluxDB Cloud provides the best time series database as a service. Free InfluxDB Cloud includes a rate-limited free plan designed to be the fastest time to awesome for anyone getting started or the hobbyist. Enjoy a few dashboards, scheduled queries and a high-performing time series database, all on the house. And when you need more, you can upgrade to the usage-based service and only pay for what you use.
- 4. Key features Built for time InfluxDB is a high-performance data store written specifically for time series data. It allows for high throughput ingest, compression and real-time querying. InfluxDB can handle millions of data points per second. Working with that much data over a long period can lead to increased cost of storage. InfluxDB automatically compacts, compresses, and downsamples your data keeping high-precision raw data for a limited time and storing the lower-precision, summarized data for much longer or until the end of time. This is the best way to balance costs without sacrificing visibility. Get data from everywhere Getting insights from your systems, stacks and sensors is easy. InfluxDB Cloud connects right to Telegraf, a plugin-driven server agent for collecting and sending metrics and events from almost anywhere. Telegraf is written in Go and compiles into a single binary with no external dependencies, and requires minimal memory footprint.
- 5. Key features Deeper insights InfluxDB Cloud is equipped with Flux, our powerful language that allows developers to see across time. Flux is easy to learn and use, simple to share and an extensible programming language designed for data scripting, monitoring and analytics. Now it is possible to find hidden meaning in data, more accurately detect anomalies, powerful notifications, and act in time. Integrated visualization and dashboarding InfluxDB Cloud comes with prebuilt dashboards and scripts for common monitoring projects – Docker, Kubernetes, Nginx, Redis, InfluxDB, with more being added all the time. Get started fast, customize some cells and show results in minutes – not days. Using Grafana? Not a problem, InfluxDB Cloud is also accessible from Grafana.
- 6. Key features Single unified API Everything in InfluxDB — ingestion, query, storage and visualization — is now accessible via a unified API. APIs enable faster time to awesome for developers as everything in the platform can now be programmatically accessed and controlled. If you started in the open source, and want to move to cloud, no problem — same API, no code change — but now you have an elastic time series database as a service at your disposal. Easy-to-build, easy-to-share templates InfluxDB Templates — a new set of tools that includes a packager and a set of pre-made monitoring solutions — allow you to share your monitoring expertise with coworkers and other community members around the world. The InfluxDB Templates gallery features available templates covering some of the most popular tools, applications, and protocols.
- 7. Architecture InfluxDB Cloud includes way more than you find in the open source – it is an elastic time series database as a service. InfluxDB Cloud Services Built from an open source core, InfluxDB Cloud is a serverless elastic scale database as a service that is maintained and administered by the experts at InfluxData.
- 8. Services Elastic Services InfluxDB Cloud is built as a cloud-native, multi-tenant, elastic scale, serverless platform. Each service can scale independently based on workload and usage requirements. This all happens behind the scenes from the user. Need more storage? It’s there — no need to procure more or use a bigger machine. Need more compute power to perform complex analytical functions in Flux? No problem — we elastically scale up to meet that demand with zero human intervention. The same is true for all the services you might need — compute, query, read, write, store, visualize, alert, notify, trigger, to name just a few. Platform Services InfluxDB Cloud is run by the experts and creators of InfluxDB. Dedicated engineers have done all the heavy lifting to ensure that the InfluxDB Cloud service is available when you need it. It is secure and hardened with all the latest security features and patches installed and configured; it is optimized for elastic scalability; clusters are rebalanced; sharding is taken care of; and replication factors are built-in. Basically, all the complexity of running a time series database is done for you. The whole infrastructure is monitored and controlled enabling you to have the peace of mind to get your real work done.
- 9. Services Support Services Designed to optimize the time to awesome, InfluxDB Cloud is also supported by the dedicated team at InfluxData. With flexible support pricing and options, you can choose from Slack and forum-based community support all the way up to having a dedicated customer success manager to help you deliver exceptional results to your organization. Multi-Cloud InfluxDB Cloud was architected to run on any cloud – Amazon Web Services (AWS), Google Cloud (GCP) and Microsoft Azure. Designed for ultimate flexibility to prevent lock-in, you get to choose both the cloud provider and location of the infrastructure. InfluxDB Cloud currently runs on AWS US-West-2 (Oregon) and EU-Central-1 (Frankfurt), on Google Cloud US-Central (Iowa) and on Microsoft Azure in the EU-West-1 (Netherlands) and US-East (Virginia) regions.

- 10. Works in your environment Telegraf InfluxDB Cloud uses Telegraf for both collecting and sending metrics and events from databases, applications, systems and IoT sensors. Telegraf is a plugin-driven server agent with over 200 plugins. It is written in Go and compiles into a single binary with no external dependencies, and requires a very minimal memory footprint. Client Libraries InfluxDB Cloud can be accessed via a set of powerful client libraries. Currently, there are client libraries for C#, Go, Java, Python, and JavaScript with more on the way. These client libraries are easily accessible in a new tab in the UI. API InfluxDB Cloud can be accessed programmatically through a robust set of APIs. These APIs are common across InfluxDB open source and InfluxDB Cloud allowing the developer to write code once and run it either locally against an open source version of the database or against the elastic database as a service — InfluxDB Cloud.
