InfluxDB 3 on Amazon Timestream for InfluxDB: Real-Time Performance, Now Fully Managed on AWS

Today, we’re announcing a major milestone for developers building the next generation of intelligent, real-time systems: InfluxDB 3 is available on Amazon Timestream for InfluxDB, now the default time series database offered directly in the AWS Management Console. This brings InfluxDB 3, our next-generation time series database, directly into the AWS ecosystem for the first time. Starting today, both InfluxDB 3 Core (open source) and InfluxDB 3 Enterprise are available as fully-managed services on Amazon Timestream for InfluxDB, giving developers a direct path to deploy and scale real-time workloads on AWS.

We’re proud to bring InfluxDB to AWS in a way that not only meets developers where they already build, but also reinforces our commitment to the open source model, ensuring it remains vibrant and community-driven.

This is about meeting developers at the moment AI crosses from the digital world into the physical one, where precision and reliability become mission-critical.

Precision is Critical

While AI tools, such as LLMs, excel at generating code, copy, and images, their nondeterministic nature means their output is inherently unpredictable. That core trait makes them unsuitable for control-oriented problems, like steering industrial equipment, balancing energy grids, or guiding autonomous vehicles. These applications demand verifiable outcomes, which require systems that operate with deterministic precision. In these domains, a single misread signal can lead to downtime, safety risks, or costly disruptions, so every action must be provably correct.

High-resolution, high-cardinality time series is the foundation for real-world intelligence. It captures not just what changed, but how it changed, and the context of those changes across related signals. That combination of real-time data and context gives Industrial AI and machine learning models the predictive intelligence they need to act with confidence.

Built for the Future of Time Series

InfluxDB 3 is purpose-built for these demands. It ingests millions of unique measurements every second—fast enough to capture nanosecond-level changes in a power grid or every micro-movement of an industrial robot. Queries return in under 10 milliseconds, so predictive models can learn and react in real-time, often before an operator even knows there’s a problem.

Its built-in Python Processing Engine lets developers enrich and analyze data as it arrives, powering on-the-fly forecasting, anomaly detection, and alerting right inside the database. Unlimited cardinality ensures that even as sensors multiply and event dimensions explode, performance remains steady, giving AI systems the high-resolution signal they need for deterministic decisions.

The Power of AWS + InfluxDB

Bringing InfluxDB 3 to Amazon Timestream for InfluxDB puts these capabilities on AWS’s global infrastructure and makes InfluxDB the go-to time series option directly inside the AWS console. Developers can stream and query high-resolution data at scale and immediately connect with services like AWS Lambda, SageMaker, and Kinesis to train and deploy models in real-time.

Running InfluxDB 3 on AWS removes the usual operational overhead, allowing teams to concentrate on building applications and acting on insights. With no infrastructure to provision and no complex configuration, it brings together the openness and innovation of InfluxDB and the reliability and scale of AWS services.

Just as important, it ensures we continue to offer open source that’s free, community-driven, and available to all. Open source remains the core of who we are and the engine that drives our community forward. That commitment helps tame the inherent complexity of time series, making it more approachable for developers and more powerful in practice.

Enterprise-Grade from Day One

For production workloads, InfluxDB 3 Enterprise on Amazon Timestream for InfluxDB delivers:

• Multi-region durability and automatic failover to safeguard data and ensure business continuity
• Read replicas for high availability and elastic query throughput
• Enhanced security and a diskless, cloud-native architecture for seamless scalability and consistently low-latency performance

Developers can start with InfluxDB 3 Core, our open source engine, and easily scale to Enterprise without re-architecting or migrating data.

Powering the Next Generation of Intelligent Systems

Bringing InfluxDB 3 to Amazon Timestream for InfluxDB opens a new chapter: time series at cloud scale, ready for the next wave of AI and real-time applications.

This is the infrastructure that will power tomorrow’s breakthroughs: systems that learn, react, and adapt with nanosecond precision.
