* Add basic initial developer docs for TSDB There's a decent amount of content already out there (blog posts, conference talks, etc), but: * when they get stale, they don't tend to get updated * they still leave me with questions that I'ld like to answer for developers (like me) who want to use, or work with, TSDB What I propose is developer docs inside the prometheus repository. Easy to find and harness the power of the community to expand it and keep it up to date. * perfect is the enemy of good. Let's have a base and incrementally improve * Markdown docs should be broad but not too deep. Source code comments can complement them, and are the ideal place for implementation details.

This directory contains the Prometheus TSDB (Time Series DataBase) library, which handles storage and querying of all Prometheus v2 data.
Due to an issue with versioning, the "latest" docs shown on Godoc are outdated. Instead you may use the docs for v2.31.1
