Storing data
In a typical IIoT scenario, we want to process incoming data, but also store this data in a cloud storage system. We can receive from the device unstructured data, such as images, sounds, or logs, as well as events and sensor data. In our proposed IIoT architecture, we want to store sensor data, such as time-series data, but it is easy to extend these concepts to unstructured data as well. AWS supports time-series data with Amazon Timestream and Managed InfluxDB natively. For our exercise, we will use Timestream.
Timestream is a key-value-based NoSQL store service for high scalability. In this exercise, we are going to finalize our exercise by sending data from the edge to Timestream through IoT Core. In the next section, we will visualize the live data from Grafana.
Firstly, we need to search Timestream from the Services console:

Now, we need to create a database, create a table, and inject data...
