I figured, if I'm storing time-series data, it makes sense to use a popular open-source solution that's optimized exactly for that. In this article, I'm going to show you how I tied in the time-series database InfluxDB into my existing Laravel application. After doing this, not only have my response times improved drastically, but the database size has shrunk considerably as well.

I'm using InfluxDB version 2 as stated in the prerequisites list above, so this is the library I'm going to install. There are pretty significant syntax differences, and if you follow this tutorial trying to connect to an older V1 instance, you'll probably run into problems down the line.
