Introduction
GreptimeDB is an open-source, cloud-native database purpose-built for the unified collection and analysis of observability data (metrics, logs, and traces). Whether you’re operating on the edge, in the cloud, or across hybrid environments, GreptimeDB empowers real-time insights at massive scale — all in one system.
Features
| Feature | Description |
|---|---|
| Unified Observability Data | Store metrics, logs, and traces as timestamped, contextual wide events. Query via SQL, PromQL, and streaming. |
| High Performance & Cost Effective | Written in Rust, with a distributed query engine, rich indexing, and optimized columnar storage, delivering sub-second responses at PB scale. |
| Cloud-Native Architecture | Designed for Kubernetes, with compute/storage separation, native object storage (AWS S3, Azure Blob, etc.) and seamless cross-cloud access. |
| Developer-Friendly | Access via SQL/PromQL interfaces, REST API, MySQL/PostgreSQL protocols, and popular ingestion protocols. |
| Flexible Deployment | Deploy anywhere: edge (including ARM/Android) or cloud, with unified APIs and efficient data sync. |

Dashboard: http://localhost:4000/dashboard Full Install Guide
Troubleshooting:
- Cannot connect to the database? Ensure that ports
4000,4001,4002, and4003are not blocked by a firewall or used by other services. - Failed to start? Check the container logs with
docker logs greptimefor further details.
