A time series database is optimised to store values that change over time. For instance, a temperature reading may update every minute. In InfluxDB, a key such as "temperature" is associated with a series of timestamps and corresponding values, making it highly efficient for storing real time metrics. This focus on metric storage has established InfluxDB as one of the most recognised solutions in its category.
