Managed M3DB as a service

How it works

What is M3?

M3 is the ideal solution for high-volume, high cardinality, timestamped data. It’s perfect as a metrics database for monitoring solutions, or anywhere where there’s a high volume of data produced at high frequency. And with Aiven, you can deploy M3 and scale up your existing architecture in minutes.

Get a high-performance TSDB – with Aiven for M3

M3DB is built for highly variable data. It features tunable time precision and highly efficient compressions to operate at scale and meet the changing demands of time stamped data. Add M3 Aggregator to save resources on your M3DB cluster so you can scale the aggregation part independently of the database cluster.

With Aiven for M3, you can easily deploy M3 as a monitoring backend for our portfolio of fully managed services. With out-of-the-box support for the most popular protocols (including Prometheus), and various integration and interface options, our M3 as a service is ready to handle your time stamped data requirements, or horizontally scale your Prometheus monitoring solution.

Customer use cases

How Aiven customers use M3

IoT Deployments

With the increasing amount of IoT deployments, the amount of data produced by connected water, energy, temperature meters, health monitors, and wearable tech is growing exponentially. M3’s highly scalable database architecture is a perfect fit for high cardinality data.

Observability

Aiven for M3 excels at large-scale monitoring. By combining it with monitoring, logging, analysis, diagnosis and alerting tools (including Grafana® and OpenSearch®) it can be used to build a fully integrated observability platform to keep your system operating smoothly.

Supersized monitoring

A typical standard Prometheus environment includes a single-server database that doesn't scale. With Aiven for M3 as a drop-in replacement (thanks to its Prometheus interface support) you can get unlimited scalability with just a few clicks.
