Time Series Basics
Session Date: Sep 18, 2025
Time: 8:00am (PT) | 3:00pm (GMT)
In this live training from InfluxDB University, we will define what time series data is (and isn’t), how the problem domain time series differs from more traditional data workloads like full-text search, and examine how InfluxDB is differentiated from other proposed solutions. This one-hour session includes the training and time for Q&A.
What you’ll learn:
- What is time series data
- What makes time series data unique
- What is a time series database and how it is different from other DB types
