| - | Foundation of Axiom’s platform for ingesting, storing, and querying timestamped event data at scale. | | **EventDB** | Ingest | - | Ingest pipeline that’s coordination-free, durable by default, and scales linearly without requiring Kafka or other heavy middleware. | | **EventDB** | Storage | - | Custom block-based format on object storage, with extreme compression (average 25×, up to 50× for more structured events) and efficient metadata. | | **EventDB** | Query | - | Serverless ephemeral runtimes that spin up on demand to process queries, powered by the Axiom Processing Language (APL). | | **EventDB** | Query | [Axiom Processing Language (APL)](/apl/introduction) | Powerful query language for logs and traces, supporting filtering, aggregations, transformations, and specialized operators. | | **EventDB** | Query | [Virtual fields](/query-data/virtual-fields) | Ability to derive new values from data in real-time during queries without pre-structuring or transforming data during ingestion. | | | | | | | **MetricsDB** | -

| Combine multiple visual elements (charts, tables, logs, etc.) onto a single page. | | **Console** | Dashboards | [AI-powered dashboard generation](/dashboards/create#generate-dashboards-using-ai) | Describe requirements in natural language and generate complete dashboards instantly. | | **Console** | Dashboards | [Elements](/dashboard-elements/create) | Various chart types, log streams, notes, and more to tailor each dashboard. | | **Console** | Dashboards | [Annotations](/query-data/annotate-charts) | Mark points in time or highlight events directly in your dashboards. | | **Console** | Monitors | [Threshold monitors](/monitor-data/threshold-monitors) | Checks if aggregated values exceed or fall below a predefined threshold (for example, error counts > 100). | | **Console** | Monitors | [Match monitors](/monitor-data/match-monitors) | Triggers on specific log patterns or conditions for each event. | | **Console** | Monitors | [Anomaly monitors](/monitor-data/anomaly-monitors) | Learns from historical data to detect unexpected deviations or spikes. | | **Console** | Alerting | [Notifiers](/monitor-data/notifiers-overview) (Webhooks, Email, Slack, and more) | Sends notifications through various channels including email, chat platforms, incident management systems, and custom webhook integrations. | | **Console** | Governance | [Dataset management](/reference/datasets) | Data retention controls, trim functionality, field vacuuming, and dataset sharing capabilities. | | **Console** | Governance | [Role-Based Access Control (RBAC)](/reference/settings) | Fine-grained permissions at the organization and dataset levels. | | **Console** | Governance | [Audit logs](/reference/audit-log) | Track every change and action taken by users within Axiom. | | | | | | | **Intelligence** | -
