Deep Dive into InfluxDB 3.0 – An InfluxData Partner Update
Session date: Dec 05, 2023 08:00am (Pacific Time)
See you on December 5, 2023, for an exclusive webinar tailored to our valued InfluxData partners. We are excited to provide an InfluxDB product update and present collaboration best practices. As the purpose-built time series database, we rebuilt InfluxDB’s core in Rust and it sits on top of Apache Arrow and DataFusion. InfluxDB 3.0 offers a new columnar storage engine that uses the Apache Arrow format for representing data and moving data to and from Parquet. During this webinar, you’ll learn the latest InfluxDB releases benefit from these technologies and why we picked Apache Parquet as the persistent format.
In this webinar, Rick Spencer, Gary Fowler, and Michele Todd will highlight:
- The ins and outs of InfluxDB 3.0: InfluxDB Cloud Serverless, InfluxDB Cloud Dedicated, and InfluxDB Clustered
- The vision behind our latest releases and how they can benefit your clients and projects
- Our InfluxData Partner program update and a sneak-peak of what’s coming in 2024
Don’t miss this opportunity to connect with our team to discover how the latest InfluxDB innovations amplify your product and service offerings. We’ll round things out with some important partner updates and a live Q&A session.
