Infuse-DB
Scalable IoT time-series data layer for live and historical device data.
Infuse-DB is the scalable IoT time-series data layer for Infuse. It stores high-volume device telemetry, keeps raw and computed device streams aligned with Infuse-IoT Cloud, and gives teams fast access to live and historical fleet data.
Use Infuse-DB when your product needs to store, query, and retain timestamped telemetry without designing a custom database or data pipeline for every deployment.
Infuse-DB is designed for teams that need to:
- deploy telemetry storage quickly,
- scale to millions of timestamped records,
- query devices by customer, environment, location, or asset group,
- store both raw and computed device streams,
- choose cloud-managed, private, or on-prem hosting for data control.
How Infuse-DB Fits Together
| Concept | What it represents |
|---|---|
| Dataset | A logical grouping for related device or product data. |
| Telemetry stream | A sequence of timestamped records from devices, gateways, jobs, or integrations. |
| Raw stream | Source telemetry as received or normalized by the ingestion path. |
| Computed stream | Derived values created from raw telemetry, such as summaries, signals, or enriched records. |
| Timestamped record | A data point with an event time and associated device or operational fields. |
| Device dimensions | Fields such as device, customer, environment, location, board, or asset group used to filter and segment data. |
| Ingestion | The workflow that writes records into Infuse-DB. |
| Querying | The workflow that retrieves live or historical fleet data. |
| Retention | The policy for how long data remains available for operational and historical access. |
| Hosting model | The deployment option for data control: cloud-managed, private, or on-prem. |
Where Infuse-DB Fits In The Platform
- Infuse-IoT Cloud manages device identity, provisioning, communication state, definitions, commands, and telemetry context.
- Infuse-DB stores raw and computed device streams for live and historical access.
- Infuse-Analytics can use live and historical device data to create decision-ready insight streams.
