Gorilla: A Fast, Scalable, In-Memory Time Series Database
Summary: Gorilla is an in-memory TSDB for massive monitoring workloads, exploiting recency and aggregate-query priorities with delta-of-delta and XOR compression. It trades limited write-side loss for regional failure tolerance, delivering 10× compression, 73× lower latency, and 14× higher throughput than HBase. (summarized by gpt-5.6-luna on Jul 24 2026)
