High‑performance, cloud‑native time‑series database for IoT scale
TDengine delivers fast ingestion, compression, and AI‑enhanced analytics for billions of IoT sensors, supporting Linux, macOS and Kubernetes deployments with built‑in stream processing and RESTful access.
TDengine is designed for developers, data engineers, and data scientists who need to ingest, store, and analyze massive IoT or industrial sensor streams. It delivers sub‑second ingestion rates, columnar compression, and a simple SQL‑like query language while exposing built‑in AI services for forecasting, anomaly detection, and classification.
The database runs natively on Linux and macOS and can be packaged as containers or deployed via Helm charts on Kubernetes, supporting both public and private cloud environments. Its distributed architecture separates compute from storage, uses RAFT for consensus, and includes tools such as taosBenchmark, taosdump, and a RESTful taosAdapter, reducing the need for additional middleware.
Key capabilities include automatic sharding, time‑based partitioning, integrated stream processing, and an AI agent (TDgpt) that connects to external foundation models. This makes TDengine a single‑stack solution for real‑time analytics and long‑term archival of petabyte‑scale time‑series data.
When teams consider TDengine, these hosted platforms usually appear on the same shortlist.
Looking for a hosted option? These are the services engineering teams benchmark against before choosing open source.
Real‑time fleet telemetry processing
Ingests millions of vehicle metrics per minute, runs on‑edge compute, and provides predictive alerts via TDgpt.
Industrial sensor data archiving
Stores petabytes of time‑series data with high compression, enabling fast historical queries for maintenance analysis.
Smart city environmental monitoring
Collects air‑quality and traffic sensor streams, applies built‑in stream processing for aggregation, and serves dashboards through REST API.
Predictive maintenance for manufacturing equipment
Uses AI agent to forecast failures, reducing downtime by automatically triggering maintenance tickets.
Linux and macOS are supported for the open‑source edition; Windows is available only in the enterprise edition.
It uses a native sharding and compression scheme that stores billions of series efficiently, avoiding the performance penalties typical of other TSDBs.
Yes, it includes native distributed design, RAFT consensus, and Helm charts for seamless Kubernetes deployment.
The integrated TDgpt agent can connect to foundation models for time‑series forecasting, anomaly detection, imputation, and classification.
Yes, the taosAdapter provides a REST API that lets any application interact with the database without native drivers.
