Introducing Netflix’s TimeSeries Data Abstraction Layer

Introducing Netflix’ s TimeSeries Data Abstraction Layer

摘要

As Netflix continues to expand and diversify into various sectors like Video on Demand and Gaming, the ability to ingest and store vast amounts of temporal data — often reaching petabytes — with millisecond access latency has become increasingly vital. In previous blog posts, we introduced the Key-Value Data Abstraction Layer and the Data Gateway Platform, both of which are integral to Netflix’s data architecture. The Key-Value Abstraction offers a flexible, scalable solution for storing and accessing structured key-value data, while the Data Gateway Platform provides essential infrastructure for protecting, configuring, and deploying the data tier.

Building on these foundational abstractions, we developed the TimeSeries Abstraction — a versatile and scalable solution designed to efficiently store and query large volumes of temporal event data with low millisecond latencies, all in a cost-effective manner across various use cases.
