2. InfluxDB Cloud
Durability Walkthrough
Phil Bracikowski - Tech Lead, Storage, InfluxData

3. Connect Learn Build
Hear from and meet developers
from the InfluxDB Community
Be inspired by use cases from
our partners and InfluxDB engineers
Learn best practices that will
help you build great experiences
for your projects

4. InfluxDB Cloud offers customers moving from open source or
self-hosted InfluxDB several benefits. Two are that Influx is responsible
for the durability of your data and for maintaining backups for disaster
recovery, for yours or ours. In this session, you’ll learn how Cloud
replicates your data to these ends.
