Time: 8:00am (PT) | 4:00pm (GMT)
In this training from InfluxDB University, we will define what time series data is (and isn’t), how the problem domain time series differs from more traditional data workloads like full-text search, and examine how InfluxDB is differentiated from other proposed solutions.
What you’ll learn:
- What is time series data
- What makes time series data unique
- What is a time series database and how it is different from other DB types
