InfluxDB
Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.
If you need another repeatable way to create random data you can export as SQL INSERTs (or CSV/Excel files) you may find a tool we built and use at work useful: https://github.com/creditdatamw/zefaker
Needs a little Groovy but very convenient for generating random (or non-random) data
This looks convenient (and performant). But how does it scale as queries join across tables?
If you need to create test data with complex business logic, referential integrity and constraints we've been working on declarative data generator that is build exactly for this: https://github.com/openquery-io/synth.
Creating realistic fake data is useful in lower environments and for load testing. Outside of SQL I like faker: https://github.com/joke2k/faker
