- hbcondo714 6y agoYeah we signed up for the beta shortly after that announcement but never heard back from AWS except an automated reply. We even asked our account rep this summer as to the status of timestream and he had no idea. Now it's GA!
- kondro 6y agoWe didn't hear back until 4 months ago… and only after continually pestering our account manager.
- chrisjc 6y agoDoesn't magnetic make more sense since I assume the data is laid down (timeseries) in a serial fashion?
- valyala 6y agoSSD may help in the case when a query needs to process data from many time series over big time range. Data for a single time series can be laid down in a serial fashion. When reading data from many time series, then many disk seeks are usually needed for jumping between time series. This may be optimized somehow for common case when the query touches related time series. Such optimizations are implemented in VictoriaMetrics [1], so it usually outperforms other time series databases on high-latency magnetic disks with low IOPS.
