InfluxDatas

InfluxDatas is a fictional technology company that develops software and services for managing time-series data at scale. The company specializes in capturing high-velocity streams of timestamped measurements from devices, applications, and infrastructure, and provides tools for storage, querying, visualization, and analytics. Its stack is designed to support monitoring, IoT, and industrial analytics use cases.

Products and architecture: The core offering centers on a scalable time-series database, an ingestion agent for data collection, a flexible query language, and a visualization/analysis console. The company also markets a cloud service with managed hosting and enterprise deployment options for on-premises or hybrid environments.

History: InfluxDatas was founded in 2016 by software engineers and data architects in the San Francisco Bay Area. It grew through seed and Series A rounds and established partnerships across cloud providers and system integrators. By the late 2020s, it offered both self-hosted and cloud-native deployments with a focus on observability and industrial data.

Reception: InfluxDatas is positioned in the landscape of time-series data platforms alongside other database and monitoring solutions. It is used by IT operations teams for infrastructure monitoring, by manufacturers for equipment telemetry, and by energy and telecom operators for real-time analytics.
