Summary
Tim Hall talks to us about the time-series data & how InfluxData is the only purpose-built complete platform for any time-based data; from humans, sensors, or machines – flawlessly gathering, loading, visualizing, and converting insights into action. With both quick placement and quick performance. The platform helps to quickly find value in your data — control systems, identify patterns, and predict the future.
He mentions a typical use case in the retail sites where you can enhance the user's shopping experience by advertising or pushing a coupon based on the previous user behavior and this is all done by considering the context and the time sequence of the user behavior, creating immense value.
