Platform for building time series applications
We're building InfluxDB, an open source time series database designed specifically to handle high volumes of metrics and events from DevOps and IoT data. It makes storing, querying, and analyzing time series data easier and faster than traditional databases.
We live in New York City and San Francisco, with remote team members. After YC, we'll base the company primarily in San Francisco.
San Francisco is where the ecosystem for startups and infrastructure companies is denser, and where most customers and early users are. We maintain presence in NYC and remote to stay connected to our team and users.
