In this post, we show how to use Amazon Timestream for InfluxDB read replicas to scale your read operations by adding additional read replicas while maintaining a single write endpoint. Built in partnership with InfluxData, our read replica add-on offers InfluxDB open source customers the ability to horizontally scale their read capacity.

AWS has partnered with InfluxData to launch Amazon Timestream for InfluxDB, a managed version of the popular InfluxDB 2.x open source time series database engine. In this post, we demonstrate how to use the AWS InfluxDB migration script to migrate your data from your existing InfluxDB OSS 2.x instances to Timestream for InfluxDB. At the end of this post, we show one way to perform a live migration, with additional AWS resources.
