Implementing Time Series

Time series data is truly industry-agnostic. It's created across use cases, from financial services to smart manufacturing. However, it can be challenging to work with due to its enormous storage footprint, which creates further challenges for querying and analyses to extract real-time insights. In this talk, we will cover the fundamentals of time series data and its usage.

Analytical insights, simplified

Discovering insights and patterns from your time series data is easier with the unified Query API that includes rich window functions and temporal operators for common and complex analytical queries.

A streamlined time series experience

Seamlessly manage the entire time series data lifecycle – ingest, storage, analysis, visualization, and archive. There's no need to worry about performance or scalability since columnar storage and compression optimize for query speed and cost efficiency, even as data grows over time.

Reduce complexity and cost

Eliminate costly, specialized databases that lead to complex data silos, data movement, and operational overhead. Instead, efficiently and securely manage both time series and operational data within a single versatile, general-purpose database.

Developer data platform
“The specialized columnar storage format and efficient data handling process large volumes of time-stamped data with speed and accuracy. This streamlines operations and enables real-time insights, helping optimize our services and improve the customer experience.”
