Open Source Time Series Databases Software

Time Series Databases store and retrieve sequences of data points indexed by time. These tools handle high volumes of metrics, logs, and traces to enable real-time observability and analytics. This type of software solves the problem of querying vast amounts of time-stamped information without performance degradation. DevOps engineers and system administrators use these apps to monitor infrastructure health. Self-hosting these databases ensures that sensitive system logs and performance metrics remain on private hardware instead of on external servers.

This page lists 2 open source tools in the Time Series Databases category. The most popular are Apache Druid and GreptimeDB. Most use the Apache-2.0 license, and 2 offer an official Docker image.
