HANDS-ON FLUX TRAINING

10 - 11 May, 2021 @ 9:00 am – 1:00 pm BST

Registration for Hands-On Flux Training is closed.

Hands-On Flux Training

Duration: Two half-day, hands-on virtual course.
Date: 10-11 May, 2021 @ 9:00 am – 1:00 pm British Summer Time
Available spots: Spots are limited and only the first 50 will be able to register.
Registration: The fee for Flux Training is £350 registration (of course, you are also welcome to attend the now-free virtual InfluxDays conference featuring the keynote sessions).

“The Flux training was really useful as Flux is quite a big shift from the more common sql-like query languages. The examples and exercises were really helpful in deepening our understanding of the data structures at play, and much aligned to the spirit of the conference itself the attendees were encouraged to demonstrate & help each other further their learning.”

Senior Analytics Consultant, Fort Digital

Training overview

The course provides an introduction to the InfluxDB 2.0 architecture, InfluxDB Cloud offering and services. It presents fundamental knowledge about time series analysis and stream processing. Central to the course is the use of Fluxlang by InfluxData. The course will cover subjects from Flux core concepts to advanced topics like User Defined Functions, passing by basic queries to manipulate time series data.

After taking this class, attendants will be able to:

  • Articulate and implement simple use cases for InfluxDB
  • Understand the basics of time series analysis and Stream Processing
  • Understand the basics of Flux’s internals
  • Use a subset of InfluxDB functionalities to manipulate time series data
  • Master just enough Go as required to use Fluxlang
  • Build data pipelines and query time series using Fluxlang
  • Deploy Flux Tasks as Streaming jobs with InfluxDB
  • Visualize the query results using InfluxDB Cloud UI

Audience

Data engineers who want a quick introduction into how to use InfluxDB and Fluxlang to enhance their ability to manipulate time series data and provide real-time analytics.

Prerequisites and notes

  • Basic programming experience in an object-oriented or functional language
  • Knowledge of SQL (would be helpful)
  • Knowledge about data engineering tasks
  • All participants will need:
    • An internet connection
    • A free account in InfluxDB Cloud
    • Join the InfluxDB Community Slack
“I really enjoyed the Flux training. Before the course, I didn’t know Flux. By completing the bootcamp, I was able to produce an advanced dashboard using Flux and InfluxDB Cloud 2.0. I think the instructors Marco and Emmanuelle did a great job putting the right amount of information for the training. It was fun!”
