About:
OpenTSDB is a distributed, scalable Time Series Database (TSDB) written on top of Apache HBase. It enables users to store and index vast amounts of numerical time-series data, such as metrics and performance monitoring data, with high precision. Its primary value proposition is providing real-time visibility into system metrics at scale, facilitating infrastructure monitoring and analysis.

Key Features:

High performance writes and reads for millions of data points per second
Built on Apache HBase for scalability and reliability
Flexible querying for graphing and analytics
Supports data collection via native and third-party agents

Use Cases:

Infrastructure and application performance monitoring (APM)
Large-scale IoT sensor data aggregation
Real-time business intelligence metrics tracking

Alternatives:

InfluxDB – InfluxDB is often easier to set up and manage for single-node instances, while OpenTSDB excels in massive scale environments leveraging Hadoop/HBase ecosystems.
Prometheus – Prometheus uses a pull model and is tightly integrated with Kubernetes, whereas OpenTSDB typically uses a push model and is designed for long-term storage of high-cardinality data.
