Why choose a purpose-built time series database?
According to DB-Engines, “time series” has been the fastest growing database category since 2016. This popularity is fueled by the rapidly increasing instrumentation requirements of next-generation software and systems.
The e-book includes:
- A definition of what time series data is and a simple way to determine if the dataset you are working with is time series or not
- An explanation of how the time series data domain differs from more traditional data workloads like OLTP or full-text search
- Details on what makes the InfluxData platform different from other proposed solutions
- A dive into the horizontal use cases that time series data has empowered developers to build
- A brief overview of the InfluxData platform data model and how it can be used in your application
Time series database highlights
Nothing's too large
Large sets of time-stamped data are no problem for time series databases.
Monitor on-the-fly
The sensitivity of time series data requires accurate monitoring in near real-time; a TSDB is made for this.
