THE RISE OF OPEN SOURCE TIME SERIES DATABASES

Summary from the TLDR Web Dev newsletter

Time series databases store and query data with timestamps, which is useful for infrastructure monitoring, finance, and IoT applications. These databases are an alternative to traditional relational databases, especially when dealing with billions or trillions of data points. The future of time series databases will likely involve solutions for high cardinality, where a large number of unique data points can strain performance, and time series churn, where frequently changing data points can make historical analysis challenging.
