Amazon Timestream
Amazon Timestream is now a family of two fully managed, serverless time-series database services on Amazon Web Services: Timestream for LiveAnalytics, built to store and analyze trillions of events per day, and Timestream for InfluxDB, a managed open-source InfluxDB engine for low-latency operational monitoring.
Key points
- Purpose-built time-series database for workloads such as sensor telemetry, application monitoring, and operational metrics.
- Makes it easier to store and analyze trillions of events each day.
- Removes the operational burden of managing infrastructure for time-series data at scale.
- Timestream for InfluxDB ships in two editions: InfluxDB 2 (single-instance or Multi-AZ, recommended below roughly 10 million series) and InfluxDB 3 (built on Apache Arrow, DataFusion, and Parquet with Amazon S3 storage; multi-node clusters up to 15 nodes; unlimited cardinality; SQL and InfluxQL support).
- AWS recommends Timestream for InfluxDB as the migration target for Timestream for LiveAnalytics workloads — InfluxDB 3 for large-scale, high-cardinality, or new (greenfield) workloads, InfluxDB 2 for lower-cardinality operational monitoring.
