Any data base similar to Amazon Timestream for Live Analytics for IoT Core application?

0

Hi,

We recently completed a working demo of our IoT project using a reference link provided by the AWS team. The setup utilized Amazon Timestream for Live Analytics as the database. However, access to Amazon Timestream has now been discontinued.

We are looking for a compatible alternative database that can be integrated with AWS Grafana for live analytics. If there’s a working demo available similar to the one we previously used via the provided link it would be extremely helpful.

Amazon Timestream for InfluxDB would be an excellent alternative to Timestream for LiveAnalytics for your IoT Core application. It offers similar capabilities with simplified data ingestion and single-digit millisecond query response times for real-time analytics.

Timestream for InfluxDB integrates seamlessly with Grafana, which was mentioned as a requirement for your project. It's designed to work with all services and tools that are compatible with open-source InfluxDB, making it a suitable replacement for your IoT data visualization needs.

For your IoT Core application specifically, you can collect data from your IoT devices and store it in a Timestream database using AWS IoT Core rule actions, similar to how you were likely doing with Timestream for LiveAnalytics.

Other potential alternatives within the AWS ecosystem that integrate with IoT workloads include Amazon Aurora RDS (PostgreSQL) with time-based partitioning, though Timestream for InfluxDB would likely be more optimized for your time-series IoT data use case, especially if you need features like automatic data lifecycle management, high scalability for time-series data, and optimized query performance for time-based operations.
