Introduction

As the amount of data generated by businesses continues to grow, it's becoming increasingly important to have reliable tools for managing and analyzing that data. One area where this is particularly true is in time-series data, which is data that changes over time and is timestamped, such as server metrics, IoT sensor data, or financial market data. To help businesses make the most of this data, there are a number of time series databases available on the market today. However, not all time series databases are created equal, and finding the right one for your needs can be a challenge.

That's where Voltmetrix comes in. Voltmetrix is an API first managed time series database platform for IoT, Observability, and Analytics. It’s a time series data platform that provides businesses with the tools they need to effectively manage and analyze their time-series data. Unlike other time series databases, Voltmetrix is not a standalone database, but rather a platform that integrates with the best open source time series databases on the market for your specific time series use case. You can deploy InfluxDB, QuestDB, TimescaleDB, and Grafana in minutes.

Why Open Source Software Matters

Before diving into the specifics of Voltmetrix, it's worth taking a moment to discuss the benefits of open source software. Open source software is software whose source code is made available to the public for use, modification, and redistribution under a license that permits such actions. This community-driven approach to software development has led to the creation of some of the most widely used and innovative software products in the world, including Linux, Apache, and MySQL.

There are a number of reasons why open source software is so important for businesses. First and foremost, open source software is often free to download and use, which can be a major cost savings for businesses that might otherwise have to pay for proprietary software licenses. Additionally, because the source code is available for anyone to view and modify, open source software is often more reliable and secure than proprietary software, which is subject to the whims of a single company.

Furthermore, open source software is often more flexible and customizable than proprietary software, since it can be modified to fit the specific needs of a business. This can be especially important for businesses that have unique data management needs, such as those that deal with large amounts of time-series data.

Voltmetrix: The Time Series Data Platform

With that in mind, let's take a closer look at Voltmetrix. As mentioned earlier, Voltmetrix is a time series data platform that integrates with the best open source time series databases on the market. This means that businesses can take advantage of the features and benefits of multiple databases without having to worry about managing them individually.

Some of the databases that Voltmetrix integrates with include:
