InfluxDB 2.0 Alpha and the Road Ahead
x line of InfluxDB and Flux, why we’re building it out the way we are, and what the development process through alpha, then beta, and then general availability of the 2.0 release will be. One of the biggest parts of InfluxDB 2.0 is Flux, our new data scripting and query language. We’ve kept Flux as a separate repository from InfluxDB because the language will have a life of its own as an open source project that is useful whether you’re using InfluxDB or not. In order it represents four components for solving problems with time series data: Telegraf, our data collector, InfluxDB, our time series database, Chronograf our UI for visualization, and Kapacitor, our service for processing and monitoring. We also have to create a TICKscript to Flux converter to help Kapacitor users migration to InfluxDB 2.0.
