DescriptionData logging and graphing tool for time series data infoThe storage layer (fixed size database) is called WhisperHigh performant column-oriented DBMS for analytic workloads using MySQL or PostgreSQL as a frontendA Graph DBMS optimized for distributed clusters infoIt was forked from the latest code base of Titan in January 2017A key-value store forked from RocksDB with advanced compression algorithms. It can be used standalone or as a storage engine for MySQL and MongoDBTypeDB is a strongly-typed database with a rich and logical type system and TypeQL as its query language
