Amazon Timestream

Amazon Timestream is a fully managed, serverless database designed for storing and analyzing time‑series data generated by IoT devices and operational systems. It provides purpose‑built engines that handle high‑velocity ingestion—tens of gigabytes per minute—and enable SQL queries over terabytes of data with single‑digit millisecond response times and high availability.

The service targets developers and engineers who need to ingest large volumes of timestamped metrics, run real‑time analytics, and detect trends or anomalies without managing underlying infrastructure. It supports familiar open‑source tools such as InfluxDB and Telegraf, allowing existing workloads to be migrated or integrated easily.

Key capabilities include automatic scaling to millions of data points per second, built‑in time‑series functions, encryption in transit and at rest, private VPC endpoints, IAM authentication, and optional custom keys via AWS KMS. These features aim to reduce operational overhead while maintaining security and performance for analytics and monitoring use cases.
