Description

A stable, reliable, and cost-effective online high-performance time series database service

In-memory JavaScript DBMS

Embeddable persistent key-value store optimized for fast storage (flash and RAM)

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.
