DescriptionA fully managed Wide Column Store for large quantities of semi-structured data with real-time accessPerformant, highly scalable DBMS for AI and IoT applicationsFully managed big data interactive analytics platformHigh performance knowledge graph and semantic reasoning engineIndustry standard data logging and graphing tool for time series data. RRD is an acronym for round-robin database. infoThe data is stored in a circular buffer, thus the system storage footprint remains constant over time.
