How a Time-Series Database Contributes to a Decentralized Cloud Object Storage Platform…
Storj Labs uses blockchain technology and a distributed network to provide storage at lower costs than cloud providers. By equipping their customers with fast, secure and fully distributed storage, their users no longer need to manage their infrastructure. The Storj platform enables applications to store and share data across a distributed network with end-to-end encryption. Discover how InfluxDB is a component to Storj’s Tardigrade service and workflows.
