DBInflux now supports Amazon Timestream as a database engine, allowing users to run near real-time time series applications with InfluxDB and open source APIs, such as Telegraph Agents. This support provides two database engine options: Timestream for LiveAnalytics and Timestream for InfluxDB, catering to different use cases.
The Timestream engine for InfluxDB is ideal for near real-time time series queries or specific InfluxDB features like Flux queries. On the other hand, the Timestream for LiveAnalytics engine is suitable for ingesting large volumes of time series data and executing SQL queries on petabytes of data quickly.
With Timestream support in InfluxDB, users can access a managed instance configured for optimal performance and availability. Additional resilience can be achieved by enabling multiple availability zone support for InfluxDB databases.
The combination of Timestream for InfluxDB and Timestream for LiveAnalytics enables large-scale, low-latency ingestion of time series data. To get started with Timestream for InfluxDB, users can create an InfluxDB instance, configure database credentials and instance settings, select deployment options, and set up connectivity settings.
Furthermore, users can define database parameter groups, log delivery configurations, and access the InfluxDB UI to interact with their instance. By creating tokens and utilizing various tools like Influx CLI, Telegraf Agents, and InfluxDB Client Libraries, users can ingest data into InfluxDB.
The partnership between AWS and InfluxData aims to provide developers with seamless access to time series data insights, enhancing scalability and real-time application development. Timestream for InfluxDB is now generally available in select AWS regions and supports InfluxDB open source version 2.7.5.
Users can migrate from self-managed InfluxDB instances to Timestream for InfluxDB by restoring backups or leveraging Amazon S3. For pricing information and demos showcasing Timestream for InfluxDB, users can refer to the Amazon Timestream website.
In summary, the integration of DBInflux with Amazon Timestream offers users a powerful solution for developing time series applications with enhanced performance, availability, and scalability. Happy building!
