GreptimeDB

What is GreptimeDB?

Observability database that keeps metrics, logs and traces in one engine on object storage.

Who is GreptimeDB best for?

GreptimeDB is best for platform teams that want metrics, logs and traces in one database on object storage.

• One backend instead of three

  Metrics, logs and traces share one table model, so a stack of Prometheus plus Loki or Elasticsearch can become one store.

• Moving one signal at a time

  It accepts OTLP, Prometheus Remote Write, Loki Push, Elasticsearch Bulk and InfluxDB line protocol, so collectors stay as they are.

• Edge to cloud

  The same binary runs on ARM edge devices and cloud clusters, which suits connected vehicles and IoT fleets.
