InfluxDB Core is a database built to collect, process, transform, and store event and time series data. It is ideal for use cases that require real-time ingest and fast query response times to build user interfaces, monitoring, and automation solutions.



Common use cases include:



- Monitoring sensor data

- Server monitoring

- Application performance monitoring

- Network monitoring

- Financial market and trading analytics

- Behavioral analytics



InfluxDB is optimized for scenarios where near real-time data monitoring is essential and queries 

need to return quickly to support user experiences such as dashboards and interactive user interfaces.



InfluxDB 3 Core’s feature highlights include:



- Diskless architecture with object storage support (or local disk with no dependencies)

- Fast query response times (under 10ms for last-value queries, or 30ms for distinct metadata)

- Embedded Python VM for plugins and triggers

- Parquet file persistence

- Compatibility with InfluxDB 1.x and 2.x write APIs

- Compatability with InfluxDB 1.x query API (InfluxQL)

- SQL query engine with support for FlightSQL and HTTP query API



## Project Status



InfluxDB 3 Core is in public beta and available for testing and feedback, but is not meant for 

production use. During the beta period we will be adding a couple of security and operational 

features to Enterprise. Otherwise, we will be focused on testing, robustness, performance, and 

operational tooling. Both the product and this documentation are works in progress. New builds get created on 

every merge into main, however we will have weekly beta builds along with a changelog for uses 

that want to move at a slower pace.



All of the APIs outside of the processing engine can be considered stable. They are what we will GA the 3.0 

version with. We will also not be making any changes to file formats that don't also come with an in-place 

upgrade path. This means that you will be able to keep the data in the database when upgrading beta versions 

and into the GA. We anticpate the general availability of InfluxDB 3 Core in April 2025.



We welcome and encourage your input about your experience with the beta. Join the [InfluxDB3 Discord](https://discord.gg/vZe2w2Ds8B)
