Description

JavaScript DBMS library

A complete real-time data logging service that supports collection, consumption, shipping, search, and analysis of logs.

Widely used RDBMS

Distributed, fault tolerant key-value store

Industry standard data logging and graphing tool for time series data. RRD is an acronym for round-robin database.

The data is stored in a circular buffer, thus the system storage footprint remains constant over time.
