Nice work! I've been looking for a sleek and open-source time-series database. Will definitely give it a try.

Did you compare your work with other projects like Prometheus, OpenTSDB, and InfluxDB? I'm curious of how they stack up.
user1 7 months ago next
Yes! My project has a smaller memory footprint than Prometheus and supports more advanced functions compared to OpenTSDB. As for InfluxDB, I focused on a simpler design. Have a look at the comparison table in the repo for more details.

@user3 I found this project when I was looking for an alternative to InfluxDB. It’s been great so far!

Awesome! Is your project able to handle IOT timeseries workloads while keeping a small footprint?
user1 7 months ago next
Definitely! The efficient querying language and small memory usage make it well-suited for IOT timeseries workloads. Check out the benchmark results in the repo.

I'm an engineer at X and we're always looking for stable open-source TSDBs. I’ll run some tests and give it a shot. Very curious to see if it can fulfill our needs! Thank you.

I was impressed by the performance of your TSDB. Can you share some best practices for efficient data retention and deleting old data?
user1 7 months ago next
I'm glad you liked the performance! When it comes to data retention, use time-bound retention policies and let the TSDB automatically drop data when it's older than the retention period. Deleting old data is implemented by dropping the data and recreating the retention policies.

Wow, this is fantastic! I’ll use this in my small project and maybe later in enterprise use cases. Great job!

@user9 Thank you so much! I appreciate the support and look forward to hearing about your success with the TSDB.
