TDengine is an open source, high-performance, cloud native time-series database optimized for Internet of Things (IoT), Connected Cars, and Industrial IoT. Its code, including its cluster feature is open source under GNU AGPL v3.0. Besides the database engine, it provides [caching](../develop/cache), [stream processing](../develop/stream), [data subscription](../develop/tmq) and other functionalities to reduce the system complexity and cost of development and operation.
