Software developer Sonia Gupta has a legal background, formerly serving as a public defender, prosecutor, and later as an assistant attorney general involved in torts and civil rights litigation. In her technology career, she worked at several companies, most recently as a developer advocate at InfluxData. Sonia has spoken at numerous tech events including InfluxDays New York City 2019.
InfluxDays events enable participants to gain firsthand knowledge, insights, and inspiration from InfluxDB community members in order to better build and optimize DevOps infrastructure and application monitoring, Internet of Things applications, and real-time analytics to maximize business value. At the 2019 NYC conference, Sonia presented “Introduction to InfluxDB 2.0 & Your First Flux Query.” Her talk covered topics such as running InfluxDB 2.0, using Flux in the 2.0 UI and in Chronograf with 1.7, and building a basic flux query.
She defined InfluxDB as a modern time series database that was designed to accommodate high write and query loads. In addition, InfluxDB includes Flux for data interaction and is a custom high performance data store built to work with time-stamped data. Flux is a functional data scripting and query language which is easy to learn and enables developers to read more code than write. The motivation for developing Flux and InfluxDB 2.0 was the need to add feature requests/functionality lacking in InfluxQL.
New features of InfluxDB 2.0 include an improved user interface with a visual query builder and ability to schedule flux queries. In addition, users can switch between visualizations using a dropdown menu as opposed to visiting a separate page. InfluxDB 2.0 also has tokens that allow access to third party systems to read or write data from the system.
