InfluxDB is an open source time series database written in Go. This talk will introduce how InfluxDB structures time series data and what makes it different from other use cases like OLTP. We’ll then go into the internals of the storage engine we wrote from scratch, the Time Structured Merge Tree, heavily inspired by LSM trees. In addition to the raw time series storage, InfluxDB has an inverted index to quickly lookup time series metadata. Previously, we keep this index in memory, but recently we added functionality to the storage engine to keep this index on disk.—Paul Dix is a Co-Founder of InfluxData, Inc.
