I'm excited to announce the alpha release of #InfluxDB 3 Core, our open source version of v3 and InfluxDB 3 Enterprise. These have been years in the making and build on top of all the work we've done with Apache Arrow, DataFusion, and Parquet. Here are the highlights: InfluxDB 3 Core (Open Source) A recent-data engine optimized for the last 72 hours of time series and event data, released under MIT/Apache 2 license. Highlight features: - Diskless architecture with object storage support - Fast query response times (tens of milliseconds) - Embedded Python VM for plugins and triggers - Parquet file persistence - Compatibility with InfluxDB 1.x and 2.x write APIs InfluxDB 3 Enterprise (Commercial): Builds on Core's foundation with additional features: - Historical query capability - High availability - Read replicas - Enhanced security - Row-level delete support (coming soon) - Integrated admin UI (coming soon) We're back to iterating in public. Full blog post follows...

Superset looks like such an amazing project. I'm thinking there might be another backend that it should hook up to later this year...
Superset started as an Airbnb hackathon project in 2015. After being open sourced, and nearly four years of incubating, the Apache Software Foundation announced Superset as a top-level project. Check out our latest blog post to learn more: link.medium.com/7NuEdO37Jdb

For anyone considering a job at @InfluxDB ... I've been working in tech a long time, and I can honestly say that we've got a great corporate culture. Our company fundraiser, and Paul's willingness to help in a fun way, is just one example.

We did a donation drive at work in December and I offered up that I’d dye my hair any color the donors picked if we crossed a certain fundraising threshold. Happy to report that we surpassed it significantly. And, well, I’m a man of my word...

I'll be giving a talk next Wednesday at 8:00 AM PST on "The data lifecycle in #InfluxDB IOx and how it uses object storage for persistence." There'll be an open Q&A with all the IOx developers afterwards where you can ask about anything IOx related! influxdata.com/community-sho…

Yesterday some Proud Boys wore shirts with 6MWE insignia. It means 6 million (Jews) wasn't enough. A reminder that if democracy becomes vulnerable, genocidal forces in the wings are ready to rise. Yes, even in America. #CapitolRiots
