Description

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

Elastic, large scale data warehouse service leveraging the broad eco-system of SQL Server

Widely used RDBMS

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.

A widely used distributed, scalable search engine based on Apache Lucene
