TDengine is a highly efficient platform to store, query, and analyze time-series data. It is specially designed and optimized for IoT, Internet of Vehicles, Industrial IoT, IT Infrastructure and Application Monitoring, etc. It works like a relational database, such as MySQL, but you are strongly encouraged to read through the following documentation before you experience it, especially the Data Modeling sections. In addition to this document, you should also download and read the technology white paper.
