Optimize your InfluxDB cluster

The goal of this phase of the installation process is to simulate a production-like workload against your InfluxDB cluster and make changes to optimize your cluster for your workload.

Depending on your requirements, this phase is likely to take the longest of all the installation phases.

Identify performance requirements

Before beginning this process, we recommend identifying performance requirements and goals–for example:

  • Writes per second
  • Query concurrency
  • Query response time

This gives specific metrics to test for and make adjustments towards. Consult with InfluxData support as you make changes to meet these requirements and goals.

InfluxDB 3 Core and Enterprise are now in Beta

InfluxDB 3 Core and Enterprise are now available for beta testing, available under MIT or Apache 2 license.

InfluxDB 3 Core is a high-speed, recent-data engine that collects and processes data in real-time, while persisting it to local disk or object storage. InfluxDB 3 Enterprise is a commercial product that builds on Core’s foundation, adding high availability, read replicas, enhanced security, and data compaction for faster queries. A free tier of InfluxDB 3 Enterprise will also be available for at-home, non-commercial use for hobbyists to get the full historical time series database set of capabilities.
