A time series database (TSDB) is a database designed and optimized to register and store data that is always associated with a specific point in time or that uses a timestamp. This structure makes it easy to analyze events chronologically over time from any data source. Not only that, a TSDB can receive concurrent inputs, allowing us to analyze and store several streams of data simultaneously and even analyze them combined.

TSDBs are specifically useful while researching and gathering trends of a general pattern or direction in which a particular data set is moving. Given its nature, it is also excellent at observing odd variations or data anomalies in an otherwise stable environment.These databases are configured to efficiently deliver the data to several processing engines, simulating the original data stream.
