Time series data is everywhere

Understand time series data and how a purpose-built time series database can improve application performance, strengthen user experience, and create actionable insights.

What is time series data?

Time series data is a sequence of data points collected over time intervals, allowing us to track how something changes over milliseconds, days, or even years. This feature-rich data does not simply include time as an aspect, but as a primary component of the data that helps developers analyze data and gather meaningful insights.
