Why Gnocchi?
Gnocchi has been created to fulfill the need of a time series database usable in the context of cloud computing: providing the ability to store large quantities of metrics. It has been designed to handle large amount of measures being stored, while being performant, scalable and fault-tolerant. While doing this, the goal was to be sure to not build any hard dependency on any complex storage system.
The Gnocchi project was started in 2014 as a spin-off of the OpenStack Ceilometer project to address the performance issues that Ceilometer encountered while using standard databases as a storage backends for metrics. More information are available on Julien's blog post on Gnocchi.
