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...

"We’re seeing the physical world being instrumented in really meaningful ways. I think we are well-positioned for that, because the lingua franca of IoT is time series."

@lizthegrey 😍 Thank you for the shoutout!

Superset looks like such an amazing project. I'm thinking there might be another backend that it should hook up to later this year...

[Al Sargent @alsargent]

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.

[Paul Dix @pauldix]

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! https://t.co/VNZMvlV1Xr

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
