DescriptionBigchainDB is scalable blockchain database offering decentralization, immutability and native assetsA distributed Time Series DBMS with a focus on scalability, fault tolerance and operational simplicityDistributed Time Series DBMS based on Cassandra or H2JavaScript DBMS with an API inspired by CouchDBIndustry 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.
