InfluxDB Cloud Serverless

InfluxDB Cloud Serverless internals

Arrow Flight SQL

The InfluxDB SQL implementation uses Arrow Flight SQL to query InfluxDB and return results.

InfluxDB Cloud Serverless data durability

InfluxDB Cloud Serverless replicates all time series data in the storage tier across multiple availability zones within a cloud region and automatically creates backups that can be used to restore data in the event of a node failure or data corruption.

Data retention in InfluxDB Cloud Serverless

InfluxDB Cloud Serverless enforces bucket retention periods at query time and, to optimize storage, routinely deletes Parquet files containing only expired data.

Query plans

A query plan is a sequence of steps that the InfluxDB Querier devises and executes to calculate the result of a query in the least amount of time. InfluxDB query plans include DataFusion and InfluxDB logical plan and execution plan nodes for scanning, deduplicating, filtering, merging, and sorting data.

The future of Flux

Flux is going into maintenance mode. You can continue using it as you currently are without any changes to your code.

Flux is going into maintenance mode and will not be supported in InfluxDB 3.0. This was a decision based on the broad demand for SQL and the continued growth and adoption of InfluxQL. We are continuing to support Flux for users in 1.x and 2.x so you can continue using it with no changes to your code. If you are interested in transitioning to InfluxDB 3.0 and want to future-proof your code, we suggest using InfluxQL.

For information about the future of Flux, see the following:
