Performance Benchmarking: InfluxDB 3 vs. InfluxDB Open Source

Time series is one of the fastest growing database categories in the world. Those who build with the highest-performing, most efficient time series database as their foundation will have the advantage. We’re excited to provide developers a superior product with InfluxDB 3, built with Rust and Apache Arrow.

This technical paper compares InfluxDB 3 to its predecessor, InfluxDB Open Source. The analysis deep-dives into data ingestion rates, on-disk data compression, and query performance. This benchmarking test provides a clear framework for comparing InfluxDB 3 with previous versions of InfluxDB, including 1.x and 2.x.

Dig into the details to understand how users are improving their query performance, scaling their high-cardinality workloads, and lowering their total cost of ownership with InfluxDB 3.
