a high throughput time series database and message bus for financial market data, with a browser admin console for streams and queries
Overview
TimeBase Community Edition is an event oriented time series database and real time messaging server designed for financial market data. Data is organised into user defined streams whose schema you control, and the same engine acts as both a historical time series store and a live streaming bus: producers write time stamped messages into a stream and consumers read them back or subscribe to them as they arrive, queried with a built in query language. A browser Web Admin lists streams, previews their data and manages users, while client libraries and a shell connect over the native protocol for ingest and query. It suits capturing and replaying market ticks, bars and order events, and any workload that needs to store and stream large volumes of time series records.
Why the cloudimg image
TimeBase Community Edition ships with authentication disabled by default; cloudimg turns that around. The image enables TimeBase user access control and generates a unique administrator password on first boot into a root only file, so there is no default login and no two instances share a secret. The native data protocol is bound to the loopback interface only, and the Web Admin is reached through an nginx reverse proxy that terminates TLS with a certificate minted per instance, so the console is never served in the clear and the engine is not exposed to the network until you choose to open it to your own application subnet. The database ships empty, the stack is built on a hardened fully patched base, and every instance comes with a paired deployment guide tested against the exact image and 24/7 support.
