Timon: A Timestamped Event Database for Efficient Telemetry Data Processing and Analytics

Summary: Timon is a timestamped event DB for real-time telemetry, enabling exact-once semantics with out-of-order data via late-data append at the low watermark. It pairs an in-memory TS-LSM-Tree with a time-partitioned on-disk index, enabling lazy aggregation and materialized views for cross-stream analytics. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
