Useful for real-time analytics and monitoring application's health
We use the tool with AI for customer data analysis as part of our internal product. It's a medium effort for beginners to learn; it's not too easy but not too hard. Overall, I'd rate Amazon Timestream eight point five to nine out of ten based on my experience. Integrating it wasn't difficult, and we didn't face any challenges. My advice for new users is to choose the right dimension names for better query performance and structure their data correctly before indexing.

Quotes from Members

"Using Amazon Timestream has been seamless due to its integration within the AWS ecosystem and ease of use for the engineering team."
"The best things about Amazon Timestream are it's maintenance-free, customizable, and has no lag issues. It's always real-time."

"The installation is very easy to do and understand."
"It can handle a lot of files quickly."
"The clustering is very good. It allows us to have high availability."
 

Cons

"There are certain features that we would like to see added and we are collaborating with the product teams on these areas."
"The tool could be improved by increasing the batch size from one hundred records to five hundred or a thousand to speed up indexing."
"The solution could be improved by making it easier for new graduates like me to use. Better explanations of queries and how to use them with other AWS services would help."
"There are disadvantages when it comes to time series databases since you can't delete anything from Amazon Timestream data."
"Arranging the database schema is a bit challenging."
"Actually, with MongoDB, it's difficult to calculate the return on investment; it's too expensive for our use."
"The performance could be faster."
"The stability could be better."
"I feel that most people don't know a lot about MongoDB, so maybe they could add some more documentation and tutorials."
"The improvements could be made to intelligence to detect disk storage and prevent MongoDB from crashing."
"From my point of view, they need a totally free IDE to work at high levels."
"The auto transaction feature is something that I found a little bit problematic. If we want to run two or three transactions at a time, we get write conflicts. So, it becomes really difficult when concurrency comes into the picture."
"MongoDB should not be used for reporting, analytics, or number-crunching tasks."
