Learn how to get started with InfluxCloud – the hosted version of the TICK stack. Why bother managing another database when you can have the InfluxData team properly host and maintain your instance of InfluxDB so you can start putting the TICK stack to work for you. In this webinar, we will walk you through setting up your instance, managing users, ingesting metrics and creating your first dashboard.
