Time series or event data? Get less confused

Time series data is a collection of measurements taken at different times, while event data refers to single events. To distinguish between the two, consider whether the data has timestamps, if it's ever updated, how many fields it has, and whether you would graph its value over time. For managing time series data, Aiven offers Apache Kafka® and M3 services, while for streaming events, Aiven supports Apache Kafka® Connect.
