Gnocchi - Time series database

Gnocchi is an open-source |time series| database. The problem that Gnocchi solves is the storage and indexing of |time series| data and resources at a large scale. This is useful in modern cloud platforms which are not only huge but also are dynamic and potentially multi-tenant. Gnocchi takes all of that into account. Gnocchi has been designed to handle large amounts of aggregates being stored while being performant, scalable and fault-tolerant. While doing this, the goal was to be sure to not build any hard dependency on any complex storage system.

Gnocchi takes a unique approach to time series storage: rather than storing raw data points, it aggregates them before storing them. This built-in feature is different from most other time series databases, which usually support this mechanism as an option and compute aggregation (average, minimum, etc.) at query time.
