Hello all,
If you are looking to upgrade to 2.x, the DevRel team recommends that you wait until the release of OSS 3.x later this year.
This recommendation is based off of the following considerations:
- Performance enhancements in 3.x. See this blog for more details InfluxDB 3.0 is up to 45x Faster for Recent Data Compared to InfluxDB Open Source | InfluxData
- InfluxDB 3.0 provides 45x better write throughput over InfluxDB OSS.
- InfluxDB 3.0 has 4.5x better storage compression compared to InfluxDB OSS.
- InfluxDB 3.0 is more efficient for given hardware resources and can reduce storage costs by >90% as compared to InfluxDB OSS.
- InfluxDB 3.0 queries are 2.5-45x faster across a broad range of query types for recent data (5m) as compared to InfluxDB OSS.
- InfluxDB 3.0 queries are 5-25x faster across a broad range of query types for past 1-hour time ranges as compared to InfluxDB OSS.
- Flux isn’t being prioritized in the roadmap for 3.x. This way you don’t have to learn a new query language. Instead you’ll be able to query InfluxDB 3.x with InfluxQL (and SQL).
Thank you!
