DescriptionTime Series DBMS built at Spotify based on Cassandra or Google Cloud Bigtable, and ElasticSearchIndustry 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.A time series DBMS optimized for fast ingest and complex queries, based on PostgreSQLOLTP DBMS based on a distributed architecture and highly compatible with MySQL and OracleTimeSeries DBMS specialized on timestamped geo data based on LevelDB or HBase
