+Cloud-scale, Fast and Efficient Time Series Database
+
+
-## What is GreptimeDB
+## Introduction
-GreptimeDB is an open-source time-series database focusing on efficiency, scalability, and analytical capabilities.
-It's designed to work on infrastructure of the cloud era, and users benefit from its elasticity and commodity storage.
+**GreptimeDB** is an open-source time-series database focusing on efficiency, scalability, and analytical capabilities.
+Designed to work on infrastructure of the cloud era, GreptimeDB benefits users with its elasticity and commodity storage, offering a fast and cost-effective **alternative to InfluxDB** and a **long-term storage for Prometheus**.
-Our core developers have been building time-series data platforms for years. Based on their best-practices, GreptimeDB is born to give you:
+## Why GreptimeDB
-* **Compatible with InfluxDB, Prometheus and more protocols**: Widely adopted database protocols and APIs, including MySQL, PostgreSQL, and Prometheus Remote Storage, etc. [Read more](https://docs.greptime.com/user-guide/clients/overview).
-* **Easy horizontal scaling**: Seamless scalability from a standalone binary at edge to a robust, highly available distributed cluster in cloud, with a transparent experience for both developers and administrators.
-* **Analyzing time-series data**: Native SQL and PromQL for queries, and Python scripting to facilitate complex analytical tasks.
-* **Cloud-native distributed database**: Fully open-source distributed cluster architecture that harnesses the power of cloud-native elastic computing resources.
-* **Performance and Cost-effective**: Flexible indexing capabilities and distributed, parallel-processing query engine, tackling high cardinality issues down. Optimized columnar layout for handling time-series data; compacted, compressed, and stored on various storage backends, particularly cloud object storage with 50x cost efficiency.

## Project Status
-This project is in its early stage and under heavy development. We move fast and
-break things. Benchmark on development branch may not represent its potential
-performance. We release pre-built binaries constantly for functional
-evaluation. Do not use it in production at the moment.
-
-For future plans, check out [GreptimeDB roadmap](https://github.com/GreptimeTeam/greptimedb/issues/3412).
+The current version has not yet reached General Availability version standards.
+In line with our Greptime 2024 Roadmap, we plan to achieve a production-level
+version with the update to v1.0 in August. [[Join Force]](https://github.com/GreptimeTeam/greptimedb/issues/3412)
