InfluxData, creator of the leading time series database, announced the general availability of InfluxDB 3 Core and InfluxDB 3 Enterprise, the latest products developed on its redesigned InfluxDB 3 engine.
Built for rapid development and large-scale production, Core and Enterprise provide a high-performance, easily scalable database for managing time series data, according to the company.
InfluxDB 3 Core is an open source, high-speed, recent-data engine for real-time applications. InfluxDB 3 Enterprise adds high availability, enhanced security, and scalability for production environments.
Both bring data transformation, enrichment, and alerting directly into the database with a built-in Python Processing Engine—elevating InfluxDB from passive storage to an active intelligence engine for real-time data.
"Time series data never stops and managing it at scale has always come with trade-offs—performance, complexity, or cost," said Paul Dix, founder and CTO of InfluxData. "We rebuilt InfluxDB 3 from the ground up to remove those trade-offs. Core is open source, fast, and deploys in seconds, while Enterprise easily scales for production. Whether you’re running at the edge, in the cloud, or somewhere in between, InfluxDB 3 makes working with time series data faster, easier, and far more efficient than ever."
InfluxDB 3 Core and Enterprise offers a modern, high-performance architecture built to handle real-time data streams at scale with efficiency and precision.
InfluxDB 3 Core is open source under the permissive MIT/Apache 2 license, giving developers a fast, flexible, and frictionless way to build on time series data without vendor lock-in or operational overhead.
InfluxDB 3 Enterprise extends Core’s capabilities with enterprise-grade features for production workloads, including multi-region durability, read replicas, automatic failover, and enhanced security. Both products run in a lightweight, single-node setup for fast, easy deployment.
Powered by the new InfluxDB 3 engine—written in Rust and built with Apache Arrow, DataFusion, Parquet, and Flight—Core and Enterprise deliver significant performance gains and architectural flexibility compared to previous open source versions of InfluxDB.
A built-in Processing Engine allows developers to transform, enrich, monitor, and alert on data as it streams in, turning the database into an active intelligence layer that processes data in motion and in real-time.
The result is the expansion of the InfluxDB 3 portfolio with two highly performant, scalable products that are easy to deploy and efficient to run, the company said.
Both new products complement the existing InfluxDB 3 lineup, which is designed for large-scale, distributed workloads in dedicated cloud and Kubernetes environments and offers a fully managed, multi-tenant pay-as-you-go option.
InfluxDB 3 Core is now generally available as a free and open source download. InfluxDB 3 Enterprise is available for production deployments with flexible licensing options.
