Amazon Web Services (AWS) has announced "general availability" of Amazon Timestream, which is based on its new time-series database for IoT applications and "operational applications."

Among the first Amazon Timestream customers mentioned by AWS were Guardian Life, Autodesk and PubNub – each of which gave glowing feedback.

Despite claims of general availability, there are plenty more additional regions that AWS wants to roll out the revamped IoT database solution.

To get hold of Amazon Timestream today, US customers must be based in Virginia, Ohio, or Oregon. Ireland is the only other country mentioned by AWS where Amazon Timestream is available.

OK, show me what you can do

Amazon Timestream performance improvements, as detailed by AWS in a rather lengthy press release, look impressive.
