This document summarizes a study that compares the performance of time series databases using real-world datasets versus synthetic datasets. The study measures three key performance metrics - data loading throughput, storage space usage, and query latency - for different time series databases when ingesting and querying both real and synthetic time series data. The results show significant differences in performance between real and synthetic datasets for data injection throughput and query execution times. Specifically, databases perform differently when handling real-world versus synthetic datasets, indicating that benchmarks using only synthetic data may not accurately represent real-world database performance for time series applications.
