Serverless InfluxDB

InfluxDB is a time-series database for metrics, telemetry, and observability data: everything is organized by timestamp and written over HTTP with the Line Protocol. Telegraf and the official client SDKs speak it directly, which is why it turns up behind so many IoT and application-monitoring stacks. Layerbase runs it as a managed database with an HTTP write endpoint, SQL and InfluxQL query support, and a web console.

InfluxDB is a Pro engine on Layerbase Cloud, so the floor is the $15/mo Pro plan; it is not on the Free plan. Pricing is flat with no per-write or per-query meter, and the cost preview in the create flow shows the monthly cost before you provision anything.

Layerbase Cloud runs InfluxDB 3, which you query with SQL and InfluxQL. Flux was an InfluxDB 2.x query language and is not part of InfluxDB 3, so the console exposes the SQL and InfluxQL paths.

For writes, yes: Telegraf and any client that speaks Line Protocol over HTTP write to the published endpoint, including v2-compatible write paths. For queries, use SQL or InfluxQL over the v3 HTTP API; the official SDKs query over Arrow Flight (gRPC), which is not routed on the hosted endpoint, and the dashboard snippets show the HTTP path.

Retention is configurable per database through the dashboard or the InfluxDB HTTP API (InfluxDB 3 replaced v2 buckets with databases). Default retention settings cover typical observability workloads.

No. InfluxDB is a paid-tier engine on Cloud, starting at the $15/mo Pro plan. The cost preview in the create flow shows the monthly cost before you provision, and the Free plan covers the Standard engines for prototyping.

Yes. The Layerbase CLI and Layerbase Desktop both run InfluxDB with the same install workflow.
