Getting Started with the InfluxDB Ruby Client

Let’s talk about the InfluxDB Ruby client. I love it for a lot of reasons, and mostly because it encapsulates what I love about Ruby: it abstracts away the pieces I don’t need to know and makes it easy to focus on my goal: getting (or writing) some time series data.There’s also a client library specifically for Rails, but we’re going to focus on plain, delightful Ruby in this post.
