# What is TDengine？
TDengine is an open source, high-performance, cloud native [time-series database](https://tdengine.com/tsdb/) optimized for Internet of Things (IoT), Connected Cars, and Industrial IoT. It enables efficient, real-time data ingestion, processing, and monitoring of TB and even PB scale data per day, generated by billions of sensors and data collectors. TDengine differentiates itself from other time-seires databases with the following advantages:
-**[High-Performance](https://tdengine.com/tdengine/high-performance-time-series-database/)**: 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.
-**[HighPerformance](https://tdengine.com/tdengine/high-performance-time-series-database/)**: 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](https://tdengine.com/tdengine/simplified-time-series-data-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](https://tdengine.com/tdengine/cloud-native-time-series-database/)**: 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.
-**[Ease of Use](https://docs.tdengine.com/get-started/docker/)**: For administrators, TDengine significantly reduces the effort to deploy and maintain. For developers, it provides a simple interface, simplified solution and seamless integrations for third party tools. For data users, it gives easy data access.
