The four products discussed in this article are all excellent choices for performing data visualization due to their rich feature sets and compatibility with many data sources. The TDengine Team is always looking for new opportunities to enable interoperability with other ecosystem components, including data visualization platforms and software, and to introduce useful data-related products to our users.
The Tdengine Database Team is proud to announce the release of TDengine Cloud, a fully managed time series database (TSDB) solution that delivers the industry-leading performance of TDengine 3.0 as a cloud service. This serverless platform can run on Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud Platform (GCP) and is offered in free and pay-as-you-go editions.
TDengine suggests to use the globally unique ID of data collection point as a table name (such as device serial number). However, in some scenarios, there is no unique ID, and multiple IDs can be combined into a unique ID. It is not recommended to use a unique ID as tag value.

Time-weighted average of time-series data stored in TDengine and visualized in Grafana
When performing time-series analysis and downsampling, one may have to deal with missing data. In this case, TDengine makes it easy by adding the FILL clause to the query, and it allows you to choose how to deal with missing values. For example, I can choose in this case to do a linear FILL, which fills it with the closest non-null value.
Multi-column Model vs Single-column Model
TDengine supports multi-column model. As long as physical metrics are collected simultaneously by a data collection point (with a consistent timestamp), these metrics can be placed in a STable as different columns. However, there is also an extreme design, a single-column model, in which each collected physical metric is set up separately, so each type of physical metrics is set up separately with a STable. For example, create 3 Stables, one each for current, voltage and phase.
Stateful incremental calculation
The stream computation can be divided into many kinds depending on the nature of the function, such as invertible, holistic, etc. Here we only discuss how the computation is implemented for incremental.
With version 3.0.1.5, TDengine Database offers support for tdengine database macOS in addition to Linux and Windows. You can now test your applications more efficiently and connect to a TDengine Server running on any operating system from your own MacBook.
Enterprise-ready cloud solution, providing robust backup, multi-cloud replication, user privilege controls and
tdengine database behavior auditing, VPC peering, and IP whitelisting features. TDengine Cloud delivers the carrier-grade performance and stability that you need to support your business.
Simplified setup and management, dramatically reducing the tools needed to start, operate, and manage your time-series database at scale. As a managed service, TDengine Cloud saves you time by taking care of clustering, backup, and data retention on its own.
Easier data analytics and sharing, enabling you to gain insight from your data more conveniently than ever. You can quickly access data in
TDengine Cloud with Python, Java, Go, Rust, and Node.js connectors; create dashboards and applications that subscribe to your topics and streams; and replicate data across your enterprise with edge-to-cloud and cloud-to-cloud synchronization.
Fast and easy data ingestion, supporting standard SQL with connectors for popular programming languages as well as an MQTT broker with which you can send data to TDengine without writing any custom code, in addition to schemaless insert protocols. With TDengine Cloud, you can choose the method for writing data into your time-series database that is most convenient for you and your business scenario.

Create a Database
All tables and data in your environment are stored in a database. In TDengine, you generally create a separate database for
TDengine each group of devices whose data has different characteristics. This way you can configure each database in the optimal manner for the data it contains.
This article introduces four popular data visualization tools that you can use to obtain a visual representation and enhanced understanding of your data. All four tools support integration with different database management systems, so you can use them with your time series DB as well as with an RDBMS.
The first example is an aggregation of scalar functions with partition by tbname, where each vnode from the source DB is aggregated individually and distributed to the target DB, where the Stream Task is responsible for writing the data to the corresponding sub-table.
