EMQX InfluxDB Bridge

InfluxDB is an open-source time-series database that is optimized for storing, retrieving, and querying large volumes of time-stamped data. It is commonly used for monitoring and analysis of metrics, events, and real-time analytics. InfluxDB is designed to be fast, efficient, and scalable, and it has a SQL-like query language that makes it easy to extract insights from time-series data.

The application is used to connect EMQX and InfluxDB. User can create a rule and easily ingest IoT data into InfluxDB by leveraging EMQX Rules.
