Audience
Developers, data engineers, and analytics teams who need high-performance, PostgreSQL-compatible time-series storage and querying for IoT, fintech, DevOps, or event-driven applications
About 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.

Warp 10
Warp 10 is a modular open source platform that collects, stores, and analyzes data from sensors.
Shaped for the IoT with a flexible data model, Warp 10 provides a unique and powerful framework to simplify your processes from data collection to analysis and visualization, with the support of geolocated data in its core model (called Geo Time Series).
Warp 10 is both a time series database and a powerful analytics environment, allowing you to make: statistics, extraction of characteristics for training models, filtering and cleaning of data, detection of patterns and anomalies, synchronization or even forecasts.
The analysis environment can be implemented within a large ecosystem of software components such as Spark, Kafka Streams, Hadoop, Jupyter, Zeppelin and many more. It can also access data stored in many existing solutions, relational or NoSQL databases, search engines and S3 type object storage system.

QuestDB
QuestDB is a relational column-oriented database designed for time series and event data. It uses SQL with extensions for time series to assist with real-time analytics. These pages cover core concepts of QuestDB, including setup steps, usage guides, and reference documentation for syntax, APIs and configuration. This section describes the architecture of QuestDB, how it stores and queries data, and introduces features and capabilities unique to the system. Designated timestamp is a core feature that enables time-oriented language capabilities and partitioning. Symbol type makes storing and retrieving repetitive strings efficient. Storage model describes how QuestDB stores records and partitions within tables. Indexes can be used for faster read access on specific columns. Partitions can be used for significant performance benefits on calculations and queries. SQL extensions allow performant time series analysis with a concise syntax.

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.
