Side by side
Uber's metrics platform: a distributed time-series database, aggregator and query engine usable as long-term Prometheus storage and Graphite-compatible backend.
A time-series platform for sensor and IoT data with its own storage and the WarpScript language for analysis, including geo time series.
Complex to operate, and development has slowed; many teams choose Thanos, Mimir or VictoriaMetrics instead.
WarpScript is unusual and the community is small, mostly around the vendor SenX.
