Don't blame the developer advocate for the company's mistakes. Developer advocates rarely have any part in these kinds of decisions, but are left holding the bag whenever they go badly.

The original TSM engine is still used by InfluxDB v2 OSS. The InfluxDB Cloud platform uses a variation of TSM that's tailored for a distributed SaaS rather than stand-alone nodes (this was originally intended to be used in InfluxDB v2

IOx is the data storage layer. It will replace the current TSM data storage system in InfluxDB, but it won't replace InfluxDB as a whole.

So many things are qualitative, but not quantitative. They can be measured, but not counted. Happiness is one of those, you can say that you are "more happy" or "less happy" from one day to the next, but you can't c

That's like saying grocery stores are exploiting the human need for food. A healthy community benefits the people in it as much or more than the company behind it. As you identified, humans have a need to connect with other humans. And

That's why it also says "Community isn’t social media." No social media company is going to do this, you are correct. But community managers and community-led companies absolutely should.

Community isn’t social media. You don't advertise to your community. If you do you're actively killing it. Community is made up of people making connections and building relationships with other people. Savannah CRM helps you mana

InfluxData doesn't make money from Telegraf at all. It fills a need (data collection) that InfluxDB users have, so it helps them which helps us, but it also helps our competitors whose users also use Telegraf to collect data. The reaso

Telegraf can do this too, in a more limited capacity. It keeps an in-memory buffer of collected data points so if a write to an output fails it'll try again on the next interval without losing the data it has already collected.

Parquet is the persistent storage format for when the data is written to disk or object storage. Arrow is the in-memory format and a set of tools built around working with it. So InfluxDB IOx will use both, Arrow in-memory for fast access,

To be clear, InfluxDB IOx will be using Apache Arrow, DataFusion and Parquet, and contributing to those upstream projects, not creating our own thing.

For a while the 2.0 development branch was using a different storage file format than 1.x, which required migrating your time series data. But by the 2.0 Release Candidate that was reverted so that it will use the same file format as 1.x, a

InfluxDB 1.x user can upgrade to InfluxDB 2.0 pretty easily, there is an `upgrade` command that will convert your metadata from 1.x to 2.0. Your time series data doesn't even need to be touched, it'll "just work" after t

That doesn't actually sound like a large dataset. Can you describe what kind of problems you faced with InfluxDB?

There are actually multiple optimizations to Flux already underway. The language runtime can "push down" some of these operations to the storage layer where they can be performed more efficiently.

You can do these things (and much, much more) with the new Flux language
