Ask HN: What is the best DB for versioned time series?

  • https://spotify.github.io/heroic/ is a multi dimensional timeseries database with a rich query language.

  • I have been using the ELK stack as a time series database for a long time, I know it isn't built for it but there's so much documentation and resources online that makes it a very "easy" choice, it's very easy to scale any part of it, use the elastic as a nosql database, have kibana to visualize and easily query. Curator to move old data to cold storage / shrink. It's been a no brainer.

  • Have a look a TimescaleDB.

  • Wouldn't that be solved with tags? Most time series databases support tagging values.

  • Amazon just launched their Time Series DB. It is probably worth a look.

  • Great, thanks all!
