Why Use a Purpose-Built Time Series Database

A time series database has a straightforward definition: it’s a database purpose-built for efficiently ingesting, storing, and querying time series data.

The world of Kubernetes networking can sometimes be confusing. What’s a CNI? A service mesh? Do I need one? Both? And how do they interact in my cluster? The questions can go on and on. Even for seasoned platform engineers, making sense of where these two components overlap and where the boundaries of responsibility end can be challenging. Seemingly bewildering obstacles can stand in the way of getting the most out of their complementary features.
