EP 141 - How to seamlessly integrate real time IoT data streams - Brian Gilmore, Director of IoT & Emerging Technology, InfluxData

In this episode, we interview Brian Gilmore, director of IoT and Emerging Technology at InfluxData. InfluxData is the creator of InfluxDB, a pioneering time series platform that allows developers to build real-time IoT, analytics, and cloud applications with time-stamped data. They handle massive volumes of data produced by sensors, applications, and systems that change over time.  Today, we discuss how next-generation databases create new opportunities by enabling organizations to seamlessly integrate real-time IoT data streams with cloud databases. We also dive deep into the relationships between database technology and adjacent innovations in AI, AR, and blockchain.   Key Questions:  What is the right way to think about “real time” from the perspective of a user?  What are the unique uses of time series data, and what challenges does it present?  How are AI, AR and blockchain being integrated into IoT systems?  What recent database developments are improving management of complex IoT systems?
