Developers looking for a distributed and scalable time series database solution

About OpenTSDB

OpenTSDB consists of a Time Series Daemon (TSD) as well as set of command line utilities. Interaction with OpenTSDB is primarily achieved by running one or more of the independent TSDs. There is no master, no shared state so you can run as many TSDs as required to handle any load you throw at it. Each TSD uses the open source database HBase or hosted Google Bigtable service to store and retrieve time-series data. The data schema is highly optimized for fast aggregations of similar time series to minimize storage space. Users of the TSD never need to access the underlying store directly. You can communicate with the TSD via a simple telnet-style protocol, an HTTP API or a simple built-in GUI. The first step in using OpenTSDB is to send time series data to the TSDs. A number of tools exist to pull data from various sources into OpenTSDB.

TimescaleDB
TimescaleDB
TimescaleDB is the leading time-series database built on PostgreSQL, designed to handle massive volumes of real-time data efficiently. It enables organizations to store, analyze, and query time-series data — such as IoT sensor data, financial transactions, or event logs — using standard SQL. With hypertables, TimescaleDB automatically partitions data by time and ID for fast ingestion and predictable query performance. Its compression engine reduces storage costs by up to 95%, while continuous aggregates make real-time dashboards instantly responsive. Fully compatible with PostgreSQL, it integrates seamlessly with existing tools and applications. TimescaleDB combines the simplicity of Postgres with the scalability and speed of a specialized analytical system.

Prometheus
Prometheus
Power your metrics and alerting with a leading open-source monitoring solution. Prometheus fundamentally stores all data as time series: streams of timestamped values belonging to the same metric and the same set of labeled dimensions. Besides stored time series, Prometheus may generate temporary derived time series as the result of queries. Prometheus provides a functional query language called PromQL (Prometheus Query Language) that lets the user select and aggregate time series data in real time. The result of an expression can either be shown as a graph, viewed as tabular data in Prometheus's expression browser, or consumed by external systems via the HTTP API. Prometheus is configured via command-line flags and a configuration file. While the command-line flags configure immutable system parameters (such as storage locations, amount of data to keep on disk and in memory, etc.).

ITTIA DB
ITTIA DB
The ITTIA DB product family combines the best of time series, real-time data streaming, and analytics for embedded systems to reduce development time and costs. ITTIA DB IoT is a small-footprint embedded database for real-time resource-constrained 32-bit microcontrollers (MCUs), and ITTIA DB SQL is a high-performance time-series embedded database for single or multicore microprocessors (MPUs). Both ITTIA DB products enable devices to monitor, process, and store real-time data. ITTIA DB products are also built for the automotive industry Electronic Control Units (ECUs). ITTIA DB data security protocols offer data protection against malicious access with encryption, authentication, and DB SEAL. ITTIA SDL is conformant to the principles of IEC/ISO 62443. Embed ITTIA DB to collect, process, and enrich incoming real-time data streams in a purpose-built SDK for edge devices. Search, filter, join, and aggregate at the edge.
