!!! warning "Deprcated"

During 2021 Aiven informed us that they would probably stop supporting InfluxDB at some point in the next couple years, but that no final decision was made.
For that reason, we discouraged use of Aiven InfluxDB and recommended that teams instead build a solution based around BigQuery for these kinds of business metrics.

At the start of 2023, Aiven informed us that dropping InfluxDB was no longer in the roadmap, and that InfluxDB support would continue for the foreseeable future.
However, Aiven is still only supporting InfluxDB 1.8, and they have no plans to allow upgrading to InfluxDB 2 because of licensing issues.

During the summer of 2024, Aiven finally stated that Influxdb will be deprecated November 2024, which will be followed up by and end of life announcement.

For these reason, we discourage use of Aiven InfluxDB for new use cases.
For many use cases, the BigQuery alternative might be a better fit.

See the end of this document for a description of [the BigQuery alternative](#suggested-alternative).

## Getting started

As there are few teams that need an InfluxDB instance we use a IaC-repo to provision each instance.
Head over to [aiven-iac](https://github.com/navikt/aiven-iac#influxdb) to learn how to get your own instance.

:dart: [Access InfluxDB from an application](how-to/access.md)

## Support

We do not offer support on Influxdb as software, but questions about Aiven and provisioning can be directed to [#nais](https://nav-it.slack.com/archives/C5KUST8N6) on Slack.
Aiven has announced end-of-life for InfluxDB as a service on April 30th, 2025. All existing instances will be terminated by that date.
