You’ve come up with your IoT deployment plan, and you’ve run tests on a small number of sensors writing data to your back-end system, but you’re worried about what the performance will be when you hit full roll-out. You were prepared to be anxious about that, but have given less thought to your database.
- Are you using SQL or NoSQL?
- How well do you understand Time Series Databases (TSDB)?
Your team’s ability to answer such questions is crucial to your project’s success. In this webinar, we’ll talk about what a Time Series Database (TSDB) is, why a TSDB is the right tool for IoT data and why other platforms aren’t. We’ll also cover how to get data into the InfluxData Time Series Data Platform for high-throughput data ingestion and real-time analysis, and we’ll be ready for any questions you might have on the using TSDB for IoT projects.
