## What it is
Apache IoTDB is an open-source time-series database management system designed for industrial IoT, providing integrated collection, storage, management, and analysis of sensor data with edge-cloud collaboration. It offers high-throughput writes for millions of devices, high compression, SQL querying, and integration with Hadoop, Spark, Flink, and Grafana.

## Use cases
- store sensor data from millions of iot devices
- time series database for industrial telemetry
- query and aggregate time-series data with sql
- edge-cloud data synchronization for iot
- visualize iot metrics in grafana
- compress large volumes of device data cheaply
- analyze smart energy and power grid data

## When to choose
- you need a purpose-built tsdb for industrial iot workloads with high write throughput
- you want edge-cloud collaboration and low-bandwidth data sync
- you need tight integration with the Hadoop/Spark/Flink ecosystem
- storage cost and compression ratio are primary concerns

## When to avoid
- your data is relational and not time-series oriented
- you need a general-purpose document or key-value store
- your stack is strongly tied to another tsdb ecosystem like InfluxDB tooling

## Facets
- artifact type: service
- maturity: stable
- function: database, streaming, analytics, data-science
- domain: databases, iot, time-series, big-data
- platform: windows, jvm, self-hosted, cloud
- tags: tsdb, time-series-database, industrial-iot, edge-cloud, sql, nosql, apache, tsfile, grafana-integration, linux, macos, docker
