About InfluxDB
InfluxDB is an open-source time series database developed by InfluxData. It is designed to handle high write and read loads, making it well-suited for use cases that require real-time data collection and analysis, such as monitoring applications, IoT devices, and sensor networks. InfluxDB uses its own query language called InfluxQL, which is similar to SQL, to interact with the database.
