It's About Time for InfluxData

These are heady times for InfluxDB, which is the world's most popular time-series database, which has been the fastest growing category of databases the past two years, per DB-Engines.com. But when Paul Dix and his partner founded it a decade ago, the company behind the time-series database and the product itself and looked much different. In fact, InfluxDB went through several transformations to get to where it is today, mirroring the evolution of the time-series database category. And more change appears on the horizon. Dix and Todd Persen co-founded Errplane, the predecessor to InfluxData, back in June 2012 with the idea of building a SaaS metrics and monitoring platform, à la Datadog or New Relic.
