Description

Large scale data warehouse service for use with business intelligence tools

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.

Cloud-based data warehousing service for structured and semi-structured data

WakandaDB is embedded in a server that provides a REST API and a server-side javascript engine to access data
