InfluxDB 3.0 is built around a columnar query engine (Apache DataFusion) with data stored in Parquet files in object storage. Eliminating cardinality concerns was one of the top drivers for creating 3.0. I mention some of the other big things we wanted to achieve in some other comments in this HN thread.
InfluxDB 3.0 is optimized for ingestion performance and data compression, paired with a fast columnar query engine. So we can ingest with fewer CPUs, less RAM and reduce storage cost because it's all compressed and put into object store. And we support SQL now (in addition to InfluxQL) with fast analytic queries.
We don't have open source releases yet (that's for later this year), but we have it available in the cloud as a multi-tenant product or dedicated clusters.
