With the big news that came out recently about our Series C financing, I thought I should take some time to talk about what the future holds for the InfluxData platform and InfluxDB. For our CEO Evan Kaplan's perspective see here.
To understand the future direction, I should talk a little bit about the last five years of work and what we've learned in the process. In the beginning of the company I built a "time series API" with web services written in Scala using Cassandra as a backing data store and Redis as a caching and indexing layer. The initial version of this API was RESTful. About six months later, I implemented this as a single binary in Go using LevelDB as the underlying storage engine, but kept the same RESTful API with some key additions.
