Amazon Timestream

What is Amazon Timestream?

Amazon Timestream is a fast, scalable, and fully managed time series database service designed to store and analyze trillions of events per day at a fraction of the cost of traditional relational databases. Driven by the exponential growth of IoT devices, IT systems, and smart industrial machines, time-series data, which measures how things change over time, has become one of the fastest-growing data types. Amazon Timestream is a serverless database that helps businesses store, analyze, and query historical data on a unified platform. The service allows users to run powerful SQL queries directly from the cloud console, leverage built-in SQL functions, or write custom SQL queries to analyze their data in real-time. Additionally, Amazon Timestream automatically moves older data segments into an Amazon S3 archival bucket, freeing up capacity for new data and ensuring compliance with regulatory requirements
