“Timestream is purpose-built for time-series data from IoT sensors and application metrics. Its tiered storage automatically moves recent data to memory and older data to magnetic, so you get fast recent queries without paying to keep historical data in hot storage.” |
“Amazon Timestream for InfluxDB provides managed InfluxDB instances. Migrate existing InfluxDB workloads to AWS without changing InfluxQL queries or Telegraf configurations.” |
