Hi @liangwu2046

Can you be more explicit in your question ?

You can use YugabyteDB for time series workloads, both YCQL & YSQL apis.

why read record data so slower than influxdb，because influxdb data cached in memory and yugabytedb in disk?

It will depend on the exact workload. Did you try with YCQL ? My guess would be because influxdb is optimized for time series workloads while YugabyteDB is a more general database.
