Is there any news on the self hosted opensource version of 3.0? Would love to try the Rust based engine and test it's performance.

We'll be releasing an alpha of InfluxDB 3.0 open source later this year. I'm actually personally on the hook for this one while our engineering team is focused on our cloud and on-premise commercial offerings.

So it's planned, but it's going to take a little time.

What's left to do for the release? Also, the alpha aspect seems surprising--isn't influx running this in production now?

The open source build will be using the libraries of what we have in our production system, but it'll be a single server release, which isn't something we're running in production. So while many components are things we've been running production for a while, the server process as a whole will be new.

I develop for Android since 2011. Since 2016 I also do more iOS. I mostly regret not looking into new developments faster. Things like Kotlin and Architecture Components. They are great, so at least experiment a bit with them to see what all the fuzz is about. Try to keep up!

Also, I wish I realized that Google Play is giving you a lot of stats and data about your apps (store) performance these days, which in most cases can help pinpoint a issue with your reach/growth.

I also regret everything about Objective C ;)
