| Integrations | The Python documentation includes examples using Dash and Plotly to plot data queried from BTrDB. | The platform offers REST APIs, OData for tools including Power BI Report Builder, SAP, and IBM Cognos, and a beta ODBC/JDBC adapter for clients such as Tableau, Power BI Desktop, DBeaver, Grafana, and Excel. |
| Product | BTrDB is a time-partitioned, version-annotated clustered time-series database for high-density univariate data. | GroveStreams is a cloud time-series database and temporal intelligence platform that stores and queries the history of data values and relationships. |
| Security | The documentation describes TLS access on port 4411 and API-key authentication, which requires the TLS port. | The maker states that role-based access control is enforced in the query engine and lists a SOC 2-certified data center, SSL/TLS, two-factor authentication, and scoped API keys. |
| Support | The documentation invites users to submit pull requests or open a GitHub issue for additions or corrections. | Pricing lists self-service support for Trial, email for Startup, priority for Growth, dedicated support with SLA for Business, and custom support for Strategic. |
| Visualization | The docs show examples using BTrDB data with Dash and Plotly. | GroveStreams provides customizable dashboards, charts, graphs, gauges, maps, and embeddable widgets. |

In their own words
BTrDB
BTrDB is a free, MIT-licensed, self-hosted time-series database for dense, high-precision univariate data. It partitions data by time, supports clustered deployments, and records stream changes as new versions that queries can target. Streams have unique UUIDs and can be grouped into collections with tags and annotations. The Python btrdb package supports nanosecond-timestamp queries and insertion through Stream.insert, PyArrow tables, or pandas DataFrames. Statistical queries can return minimum, maximum, mean, count, and standard deviation without reading every underlying point. StreamSets can be filtered and converted to pandas DataFrames or CSV files. Documentation shows Dash and Plotly visualization, Ray-worker serialization, TLS on port 4411, and API-key authentication requiring that TLS port. Arrow-based tabular methods are documented for commercial customers with Arrow-enabled servers. BTrDB reports measured cluster throughput and compression figures, and describes smart-grid aggregation at city or country scale as one target use case.
