Serverless Amazon Timestream database now generally available

San Francisco, Oct 1 : Amazon Web Services (AWS), the Cloud arm of Amazon, has made its new serverless database Timestream available for Internet of Things (IoT) and operational applications that can scale to process trillions of time series events per day up to 1,000 times faster and at as low as one-tenth the cost of a relational database.
Amazon Timestream is available in US East (N. Virginia), US East (Ohio), US West (Oregon), and European Union (Ireland), with availability in additional regions in the coming months, the company said in a statement on Wednesday.
“What we hear from customers is that they have a lot of insightful data buried in their industrial equipment, website clickstream logs, data center infrastructure, and many other places, but managing time series data at scale is too complex, expensive, and slow,” said Shawn Bice, VP, Databases, AWS.
Amazon Timestream provides a serverless database service that is purpose-built to manage the scale and complexity of time series data in the cloud.
“Customers can store more data more easily and cost effectively, giving them the ability to derive additional insights and drive better business decisions from their IoT and operational monitoring applications,” Bice added.
Amazon Timestream’s analytics features provide time series-specific functionality to help customers identify trends and patterns in data in near real time.
