Cyanite is a daemon which provides services to store and retrieve timeseries data.
It aims to be compatible with the Graphite_ eco-system.

Cyanite stores timeseries data in `Apache Cassandra`_ by default and focuses on
the following aspects:

Scalability
  By relying on `Apache Cassandra`_, Cyanite is able to provide highly available,
  elastic, and low-latency time-series storage. 

Compatibility
  The Graphite_ eco-system has become the de-facto standard for interacting
  with time-series data, either with ``graphite-web`` or with Grafana_.
  Cyanite will strive to remain as integrated as possible with this
  eco-system and to provide simple interaction modes.

Cyanite is Open-Source software, released under an MIT license and is
available on github: https://github.com/pyr/cyanite. The latest
release is available at https://github.com/pyr/cyanite/releases/latest
