#ICYDK: Flux (#fluxlang) is the new data scripting language that we’re creating to make querying and analyzing time series and other kinds of data quick and easy. Flux will be able to work with data from InfluxDB, Prometheus, relational databases, CSV files, S3, and any other kind of API or data source. One of the concerns we heard when I first started talking about Flux (previously IFQL) was that asking users to pick up a new language would present too steep a learning curve. However, I think that learning Flux presents no more difficulty than learning any new API and that it might even be easier than using SQL even if you already “know” the latter.
I’ll lay out the basics of the language before jumping to the specific API stuff. Let’s start with an introduction to Flux with some code. Consider the following script: https://goo.gl/dyK2YF #DataIntegration #ML
