Why use InfluxDB instead of MySQL?

The question is about InfluxDB

Answer:

InfluxDB should be used instead of MySQL when working with time-series data because it is specifically designed to handle large volumes of timestamped data efficiently. It offers built-in tools for retention policies, downsampling, and real-time querying, making it better suited for metrics and monitoring.
