OpenTSDB is a free and open-source distributed, scalable Time Series Database written on top of Apache HBase. OpenTSDB was designed to address a common need: store, index and serve metrics collected from computer systems such as network gear, operating systems and applications, at a large scale, and make this data easily accessible and graphable. OpenTSDB allows you to collect thousands of metrics from tens of thousands of hosts and applications, at a high rate and will never delete or downsample data and can easily store hundreds of billions of data points.

Prometheus is a Cloud Native Computing Foundation project for systems and service monitoring. With Prometheus you can collect metrics from configured targets at given intervals, evaluates rule expressions, displays the results, and can trigger alerts when specified conditions are observed.

ArangoDB is a database system that was designed to support key/value, document, and graph data to be stored together, and queried via a unified language called AQL. The project is developed by ArangoDB GmbH, and released free and open-source under the Apache License 2.0. The universal "native multi-level" design of the database allows for a flexible approach when structuring and building an application, a feature that many have come to love.

CouchDB is a free and open-source document-oriented NoSQL database developed by the Apache Foundation. The database is written and implemented in the language Erlang and provides the use of multiple formats and protocols to store, transfer, and process data. With CouchDB you query data with JavaScript using MapReduce, and HTTP for an API. Which can be done across multiple distributed CouchDB instances as the database has the ability to synchronize multiple copies of the same database, across servers.
