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.
What is Whatagraph?
Whatagraph's IQ Agents now watch ad accounts and act on them, not just report.
Whatagraph builds client reports for agencies and ships most weeks. In late October it launched IQ Agents, which watch marketing accounts on a schedule, report problems to Slack and act through MCP in Meta, Asana and HubSpot. Mid-October brought Excel attachments in report emails, six Ahrefs report types including AI citations, stored blends and ad creatives in tables.
InfluxDB vs Whatagraph: editorial side-by-side
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.
Whatagraph
6.3ANALYTICS
Whatagraph's IQ Agents now watch ad accounts and act on them, not just report.
◆ Current state
Whatagraph builds client reports for agencies and ships most weeks. In late October it launched IQ Agents, which watch marketing accounts on a schedule, report problems to Slack and act through MCP in Meta, Asana and HubSpot. Mid-October brought Excel attachments in report emails, six Ahrefs report types including AI citations, stored blends and ad creatives in tables.
◆ Where it's heading
The product is moving from showing what happened in ad accounts to acting on it. Earlier releases cut the manual work of keeping reports running; IQ Agents take on the monitoring and follow-up work itself. Source coverage keeps widening alongside, from OpenAI Ads to Ahrefs AI citations.
◆ Prediction
Expect IQ Agents to gain more platforms they can act in beyond Meta, Asana and HubSpot. The entries do not show agent pricing.
