DescriptionAnalytic DBMS for real-time computations and queriesAll data is stored inside objects which are linked by so-called link attributes. Objects consist of classes which can be extended and de-extended at runtime. Graphs can be defined with a struct.An open source Time Series DBMS built for increased scalability, high performance and efficiencyDBMS for storing time series, events and metricsDistributed, fault tolerant key-value store
