Telemetry data is everywhere – we find it in IOT Sensors, logs, click streams – it drives advances in the connected devices we find in our homes, smart buildings, smart factories, and in devices that consumers and businesses rely upon. Azure Data Explorer is a Logs & Telemetry database for Big Data in NRT.
