| Integrations | The README describes using FiloDB as a Grafana data source through its Prometheus-compatible HTTP API and identifies Cassandra as its persistence store. | 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 | FiloDB is an open-source distributed, real-time, in-memory time-series, event, and operational database with Prometheus query support. | GroveStreams is a cloud time-series database and temporal intelligence platform that stores and queries the history of data values and relationships. |
| Support | The repository invites contributions; it does not state a paid support plan on the README page. | Pricing lists self-service support for Trial, email for Startup, priority for Growth, dedicated support with SLA for Business, and custom support for Strategic. |
| Use cases | Documented uses include operational metrics, distributed tracing storage, ad-hoc application-metric debugging, and real-time event storage and querying. | The maker says the platform is especially suited for energy, manufacturing, and buildings. |

In their own words
FiloDB
FiloDB is a free, Apache-2.0 open-source database for distributed, real-time time-series, event, and operational data. It is designed to ingest and query many millions of time series, sharding data across processes with distributed querying. Columnar compression and off-heap memory management support substantial in-memory storage while reducing garbage collection. PromQL is available through an HTTP API and command-line interface; the README describes support as about 60%. Histograms are a first-class column type, with the project reporting possible compression and query-speed improvements of up to two orders of magnitude. Typical ingestion uses Apache Kafka, while the Gateway accepts Influx Line Protocol over TCP. Grafana can connect through the Prometheus-compatible API, and Cassandra is identified as the persistence store. Deployment uses clustered standalone processes and requires Java, Cassandra, Kafka, Rust, a C compiler, and SBT to build.
