[![GoPkg](https://pkg.go.dev/badge/github.com/prometheus/prometheus/tsdb.svg)](https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/prometheus/prometheus/tsdb)
This directory contains the Prometheus storage layer that is used in its 2.x releases.
A writeup of its design can be found [here](https://fabxc.org/blog/2017-04-10-writing-a-tsdb/).
Based on the Gorilla TSDB [white papers](http://www.vldb.org/pvldb/vol8/p1816-teller.pdf).
