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.
Also consider cocotb, this thread has some compelling arguments. I'd say as a student, learning industry tools isn't necessarily the best thing you could spend your time on. Getting fast at design AND verification, where you can maintain flow state and run better microexperiments means you will understand more, faster.
