Apache Cloudberry vs InfluxDB
A side-by-side editorial comparison of Apache Cloudberry and InfluxDB — release velocity, themes, recent moves, and the top alternatives to consider.
Apache Cloudberry vs InfluxDB: at a glance
What is Apache Cloudberry?
Apache Cloudberry ships 2.2.0 after three release candidates.
Apache Cloudberry is an open-source MPP analytics database in the Apache Incubator, derived from Greenplum. 2.2.0-incubating went final on November 3 after rc1 (September 3), rc2 (October 7) and rc3 (October 20). The release entry carries no notes of its own.
What is InfluxDB?
InfluxDB keeps patching its 3.11 and 3.12 lines, now with a catalog repair tool.
InfluxDB 3.12.0 made authentication and RBAC generally available in Enterprise and added distributed compaction in beta. Since then the team has shipped patch pairs for 3.12 and 3.11: lost-write and catalog-load fixes in mid-October, and on 10-29 a catalog deadlock fix, correct column names for WAL plugins, and 429 instead of 500 when a query runs out of memory. 3.12.2 also gets the offline catalog repair command.

Apache Cloudberry
5.0ANALYTICS
Apache Cloudberry ships 2.2.0 after three release candidates.
◆ Current state
Apache Cloudberry is an open-source MPP analytics database in the Apache Incubator, derived from Greenplum. 2.2.0-incubating went final on November 3 after rc1 (September 3), rc2 (October 7) and rc3 (October 20). The release entry carries no notes of its own.
◆ Where it's heading
The project now ships on a roughly six-month cycle (2.0 in September 2025, 2.1 in May, 2.2 in November), each going through two or three voted candidates. The process is steady; what changed in 2.2 isn't visible in these entries.
◆ Prediction
A 2.3.0 rc1 is the next likely tag, probably in early 2027 if the cadence holds.
InfluxDB
5.0ANALYTICS
InfluxDB keeps patching its 3.11 and 3.12 lines, now with a catalog repair tool.
◆ Current state
InfluxDB 3.12.0 made authentication and RBAC generally available in Enterprise and added distributed compaction in beta. Since then the team has shipped patch pairs for 3.12 and 3.11: lost-write and catalog-load fixes in mid-October, and on 10-29 a catalog deadlock fix, correct column names for WAL plugins, and 429 instead of 500 when a query runs out of memory. 3.12.2 also gets the offline catalog repair command.
◆ Where it's heading
Most recent work is about data correctness and recovery, not new features. Two release lines get the same fixes, and an offline repair tool suggests catalog corruption has reached real users.
◆ Prediction
More paired 3.12.x and 3.11.x patches are likely before any 3.13 feature release, since every release since 3.12.0 has been a fix.
