# What is TDengine？
TDengine is an open source, high performance , cloud native time-series database (Time-Series Database, TSDB).
TDengine can be optimized for Internet of Things (IoT), Connected Cars, and Industrial IoT, IT operation and maintenance, finance and other fields. In addition to the core time series database functions, TDengine also provides functions such as caching, data subscription, and streaming computing. It is a minimalist time series data processing platform that minimizes the complexity of system design and reduces R&D and operating costs. Compared with other time series databases, the main advantages of TDengine are as follows:
- High-Performance: TDengine is the only time-series database to solve the high cardinality issue to support billions of data collection points while out performing other time-series databases for data ingestion, querying and data compression.
- Simplified Solution: Through built-in caching, stream processing and data subscription features, TDengine provides a simplified solution for time-series data processing. It reduces system design complexity and operation costs significantly.
- Cloud Native: Through native distributed design, sharding and partitioning, separation of compute and storage, RAFT, support for kubernetes deployment and full observability, TDengine is a cloud native Time-Series Database and can be deployed on public, private or hybrid clouds.

# Building
At the moment, TDengine server supports running on Linux, Windows systems.Any OS application can also choose the RESTful interface of taosAdapter to connect the taosd service . TDengine supports X64/ARM64 CPU , and it will support MIPS64, Alpha64, ARM32, RISC-V and other CPU architectures in the future.

TDengine provide a few useful tools such as taosBenchmark (was named taosdemo) and taosdump. They were part of TDengine. By default, TDengine compiling does not include taosTools. You can use `cmake .. -DBUILD_TOOLS=true` to make them be compiled with TDengine.
Note: Since snappy lacks pkg-config support (refer to [link](https://github.com/google/snappy/pull/86)), it leads a cmake prompt libsnappy not found. But snappy still works well.
