    InfluxDB Founder & CTO here. We worked hard to support InfluxQL in 3.x and it supports the v1 write API. Admittedly, it will be a migration to move and we haven't yet built the too…

    Right now this is just in the AI Studio web UI. I have a few command line/scripts to put together a file or two and drop those in. So far I've put in about 450k of stuff there and …

    My experience so far with Opus 4 is that it's very good. Based on a few days of using it for real work, I think it's better than Sonnet 3.5 or 3.7, which had been my daily drivers …

    Our intention with InfluxDB Core is that it's useful to large audience. Just not the group of people seeking a historical TSDB. It's a collector, processor, and recent data TSDB. I…
