Influx DB is time series database written in Go.
It supports SQL like queries and it has different entry points, REST API (tcp protocol) and UDP.

We wrote a sdk to manage integration between Influx and PHP.
It supports Guzzle Adapter but if you use Zend\Client you can write your implementation.
<?php
$guzzle = new \GuzzleHttp\Client();
$options = new Options();
$adapter = new GuzzleAdapter($guzzle, $options);
$client = new Client();
$client->setAdapter($adapter);
In this case we are using a Guzzle Client, we communicate with Influx in TPC, but we can speak with it in UDP
<?php
$options = new Options();
$adapter = new UdpAdapter($options);
$client = new Client();
$client->setAdapter($adapter);
Both of them have the same usage
<?php
$client->mark("app.search", $points, "s");
The first different between udp and tcp is known, TPC after request expects a response, UDP does not expect anything and in this case does not exist any delivery guarantee. If you can accept this stuff this is the benchmark:
