  2. Building an AWS Timestream Database with Pulumi

How do I build an AWS Timestream database with Pulumi?

In this guide, we will create an AWS Timestream time series database using Pulumi with TypeScript. AWS Timestream is a fast, scalable, and serverless time series database service for IoT and operational applications. We will define a Timestream database and a table within it.

Key Points

  • Define an AWS Timestream database using Pulumi.
  • Create a table within the Timestream database.
  • Use Pulumi’s AWS provider to manage the resources.
import * as pulumi from "@pulumi/pulumi";
import * as aws from "@pulumi/aws";

// Create an AWS Timestream Database
const timestreamDatabase = new aws.timestreamwrite.Database("myTimestreamDatabase", {
    databaseName: "my_timestream_db",
    tags: {
        Environment: "Dev",
        Project: "TimeSeriesAnalysis",
    },
});

// Create an AWS Timestream Table within the Database
const timestreamTable = new aws.timestreamwrite.Table("myTimestreamTable", {
    databaseName: timestreamDatabase.databaseName,
    tableName: "my_timestream_table",
    retentionProperties: {
        memoryStoreRetentionPeriodInHours: 24, // Data stored in memory for 24 hours
        magneticStoreRetentionPeriodInDays: 7, // Data stored in magnetic store for 7 days
    },
    tags: {
        Environment: "Dev",
        Project: "TimeSeriesAnalysis",
    },
});

// Export the database and table names
export const databaseName = timestreamDatabase.databaseName;
export const tableName = timestreamTable.tableName;

Conclusion

In this guide, we created an AWS Timestream database and a table using Pulumi. We defined the database and table with specific retention properties and tags. This setup allows you to store and analyze time series data efficiently using AWS Timestream.
