# IOx Observability with qryn [![](https://cdn.hashnode.com/res/hashnode/image/upload/v1694987010518/736314b4-c56f-4ac1-9b48-f719a2b87bee.png align="center")](https://qryn.cloud) "**IOx**" is the latest **InfluxDB 3.0** engine developed with *Rust and Apache Arrow* designed to provide **infinite cardinality** on top of *S3 compatible Object Storage.* *We've been following the development of IOx since its inception and decided to try make it easier for others to try and develop on top of this exciting technology.* So how did we get here? *He's the story of* ***qryn-iox*** *from start to end!* ### IOx Server Running the **IOx service** stack is the first step to getting started. InfluxData is not producing builds and releases of IOx and only offers the service on their Cloud and Serverless platforms. What about local deployments with our own resources for development and testing purposes? *No problem!* ![](https://cdn.hashnode.com/res/hashnode/image/upload/v1694982084814/f1a36a21-71a9-4944-88ef-12bd73047abf.png align="center") The [iox-community](https://github.com/metrico/iox-community) repository provides *ready-to-use* **static builds**, **docker containers** and **recipes** to help you get started with IOx in just minutes! ![](https://cdn.hashnode.com/res/hashnode/image/upload/v1694984214590/f050edff-d37e-4a1f-b484-840537898bbe.png align="center") > You can experiment with **IOx** on **Fly.io** for free using our ready examples! Follow the instructions from the [iox-community](https://github.com/metrico/iox-community) repository to get configure your local deployment *or simply* [*signup for a free account*](https://www.influxdata.com/products/influxdb-cloud/) *on* [*InfluxDB Serverless Cloud*](https://www.influxdata.com/products/influxdb-cloud/) --- ### IOx + Flux If you're been using **InfluxDB** for a while, there's a chance you've used **Flux** before. And if you love it as much as we do, *you are probably disappointed not to see it supported by the latest InfluxDB 3.0 stack in favor of just using* ***FlightSQL*** 😢
💡
Flux and IOx are open source! We decided to take the matter into our own hands and try and see how hard it would be to integrate them!
With the kind cooperation of the InfluxData dev team we became maintainers of Flux and a few weeks later the **qxip/qryn** development team had the job done! 🚀 ![](https://cdn.hashnode.com/res/hashnode/image/upload/v1694988112298/be78073d-7451-406e-94d0-5a7f0cc662d0.png align="left") **Users** can now enjoy the fruit of our hard work with [**Flux(pipe)**](https://github.com/metrico/fluxpipe) our serverless version of Flux with support for [**FlightSQ/IOx, ClicKhouse, LogQL**](https://github.com/metrico/fluxpipe) and many more features! > [***Flux(pipe)***](https://github.com/metrico/fluxpipe) *allows the Influx Community to continue using the Flux technology!* [![](https://cdn.hashnode.com/res/hashnode/image/upload/v1694984430265/406576f3-5035-4846-8ad3-263f6ac93929.png align="center")](https://github.com/metrico/fluxpipe) --- ### IOx + qryn Now we have a powerful **FlightSQL IOx** backend and a fast client. *What next?* The **cherry on top** is [**qryn-iox**](https://qryn.dev) 🚀 *the first full-blown InfluxDB 3.0 integration!* [![](https://cdn.hashnode.com/res/hashnode/image/upload/v1694987010518/736314b4-c56f-4ac1-9b48-f719a2b87bee.png align="center")](https://qryn.cloud) ### Introducing: **qryn-iox** Our polyglot observability stack designed for instant drop-in compatibility with **LogQL**, **PromQL** and **TempoQL** is now available for **InfluxDB 3.0** *Cloud or On-Prem.* Powered by standard **Opentelemetry** on the ingestion front [**qryn-iox**](https://qryn.cloud) allows users to effortlessly manage all of their ***Logs, Metrics*** *and* ***Traces*** with **InfluxDB 3.0 "IOx"** Plug your data and you're done.

Worried? Relax. You don't need to learn SQL or even use FlightSQL
Behind the scenes [qryn](https://qryn.cloud) transpiles your **LogQL**, **PromQL** and **TempoQL** queries to **FlightSQL** and provides access to data using **Grafana**'s native **built-in datasources** *without requiring plugins, modifications or hacks to install and maintain. Dreamy!* [![](https://cdn.hashnode.com/res/hashnode/image/upload/v1694986752233/8badd906-8782-4e6b-9c3f-9c24485dc68e.png align="center")](https://qryn.cloud) ### IOx Logs Managing your Logs with **qryn-iox** is as simple as loading the **Loki Datasource** [![](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/1423657/196654073-b84a218c-6a70-49bb-a477-e8be5714e0ba.gif align="center")](https://qryn.cloud) ### IOx Metrics Managing your Metrics with **qryn-iox** is easy with the **Prometheus Datasource** [![](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/1423657/196654084-1f1d8a62-3fd2-4420-a2fa-57ac2872938c.gif align="center")](https://qryn.cloud) *... and so much more waiting for you!* ## Are you ready, already? 🚀 If you want to experience **qryn** and **qryn-iox** first signup today at [gigapipe.com](https://gigapipe.com) [![](https://cdn.hashnode.com/res/hashnode/image/upload/v1694988473300/00204b0f-eb66-49e5-be43-3c05484c35d5.gif align="left")](https://qryn.cloud)
