What you get

Production features, free tier included

Every InfluxDB database ships with the same primitives: TLS, web console, hibernation, and a real dashboard. No tiered features hidden behind a sales call.

Web IDE

Query console in the dashboard, no extra client to install.

Included

TLS by default

All connections encrypted. No setup required.

Included

Always-on connections

Optional keep-alive add-on prevents hibernation.

Included

Scale to zero

Hibernates when idle. Wakes on the next connection.

Included

Connection pooling

Pooled endpoint for serverless and edge workloads.

Included

Direct connections

Bypass the pooler for migrations and replication.

Included

HTTPS access

HTTP-native engines reachable over port 443.

Included

Serverless driver

Upstash REST or PlanetScale serverless drivers supported.

Not available

IP whitelisting

Restrict access to specific IPs or CIDR ranges.

Included

Automatic backups

Scheduled point-in-time backups with one-click restore.

Included

Quick start

Connect with any InfluxDB client

Metrics, telemetry, IoT, observability backends, application performance monitoring, and any workload organized by timestamp.

  • Ingest application metrics via HTTP without managing a dedicated TSDB
  • Store IoT device telemetry with retention policies and downsampling
  • Build a Grafana-friendly observability backend on the same platform as your databases
  • Per-environment time-series stores for production-shaped staging
  • Self-host on your own hardware with SpinDB when compliance requires it

Questions

Common InfluxDB questions

InfluxQL, Flux, or SQL?+

Layerbase Cloud supports the modern InfluxDB query paths; the dashboard exposes both the SQL-style query interface and the legacy Flux endpoint where supported. Check the dashboard for which paths your version exposes.

Will Telegraf and the official clients work?+

Yes. Telegraf, the official influxdb-client SDKs (Go, Python, JS, Java), and any HTTP client that speaks the Line Protocol connect to the published endpoint.

Retention and downsampling?+

Configurable per bucket through the dashboard or the standard Influx API. Default retention settings cover typical observability workloads.

Is there a free tier?+

InfluxDB is a paid-tier engine on Cloud. The cost preview in the create flow shows the monthly cost before you provision.

Can I run InfluxDB locally?+

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