TDengine is an open-source, cloud-native time-series database (TSDB) written in C, purpose-built for IoT, connected vehicles, industrial IoT, finance, and IT operations workloads. It combines high-performance ingestion, SQL querying, built-in caching, stream processing, and data subscription in a single platform, with an accompanying AI-native industrial data management layer (IDMP).

Use cases

  • store and query sensor telemetry from millions of IoT devices
  • replace a legacy data historian like the PI System
  • ingest high-volume industrial time-series data over MQTT
  • monitor connected vehicle fleet data in real time
  • build dashboards and anomaly detection for factory equipment
  • run a clustered time-series database for PB-scale metrics
  • analyze financial tick data with SQL

When to choose

  • you need extreme write/query performance for high-cardinality sensor data
  • you want an integrated TSDB with caching, streaming, and subscriptions out of the box
  • you are modernizing an industrial data historian
  • you need horizontal scaling with clustering for time-series workloads

When to avoid

  • your data is relational with complex joins across entities rather than time-series
  • you need a permissively licensed database (core is AGPL-3.0, enterprise features are paid)
  • your team prefers a widely adopted ecosystem like InfluxDB or TimescaleDB with broader community tooling
  • you only need a small embedded time-series store
