How does timeseries data store dump data to blob store? Is there a native way in timeseries db to dump data to blob store?

Hi Ronaldo
While there isn’t typically a native feature in time series databases for direct data export to a blob store, many databases offer integrations or connectors with popular cloud storage services to facilitate data transfer. For example, InfluxDB can be integrated with AWS S3, and TimescaleDB supports exporting data to various formats, which can then be uploaded to a blob store.
The approach you take depends on your specific requirements and the tools you’re using in your data pipeline. The process may vary based on the cloud provider, time series database, and other components in your system. It’s important to consider data security, access controls, and retention policies when implementing data export from a time series database to a blob store.
Also, a time-series database doesn’t need to dump (or load) data to (or from) a blob store by itself. Some service components can take a snapshot of older data and copy it to a blob store. The format of such data can be time-series/application dependent.
Thank you
