For similar capabilities to Amazon Timestream for LiveAnalytics, consider Amazon Timestream for InfluxDB. It offers simplified data ingestion and single-digit millisecond query response times for real-time analytics. Learn more [here](https://docs.aws.amazon.com//timestream/latest/developerguide/timestream-for-influxdb.html).
# Using the AWS SDKs
You can access Amazon Timestream using the AWS SDKs. Timestream supports two SDKs per language; namely, the Write SDK and the Query SDK. The Write SDK is used to perform CRUD operations and to insert your time series data into Timestream. The Query SDK is used to query your existing time series data stored in Timestream.
Once you've completed the necessary prerequisites for your SDK of choice, you can get started with the [Code samples](code-samples.md).

# Java
To get started with the [Java 1.0 SDK](https://aws.amazon.com/sdk-for-java/) and Amazon Timestream, complete the prerequisites, described below.
Once you've completed the necessary prerequisites for the Java SDK, you can get started with the [Code samples](code-samples.md).
## Prerequisites
Before you get started with Java, you must do the following:
1. Follow the AWS setup instructions in [Accessing Timestream for LiveAnalytics](accessing.md).
1. Set up a Java development environment by downloading and installing the following:
+ Java SE Development Kit 8 (such as [Amazon Corretto 8](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/corretto/latest/corretto-8-ug/downloads-list.html)).
+ Java IDE (such as [Eclipse](http://www.eclipse.org) or [IntelliJ](https://www.jetbrains.com/idea/)).
For more information, see [Getting Started with the AWS SDK for Java](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/sdk-for-java/latest/developer-guide/get-started.html)
1. Configure your AWS credentials and Region for development:
+ Set up your AWS security credentials for use with the AWS SDK for Java.
+ Set your AWS Region to determine your default Timestream for LiveAnalytics endpoint.
## Using Apache Maven
You can use [Apache Maven ](https://maven.apache.org/) to configure and build AWS SDK for Java projects.
**Note**
To use Apache Maven, ensure your Java SDK and runtime are 1.8 or higher.
You can configure the AWS SDK as a Maven dependency as described in [ Using the SDK with Apache Maven](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/sdk-for-java/v1/developer-guide/setup-project-maven.html).
You can run compile and run your source code with the following command:
```
mvn clean compile
mvn exec:java -Dexec.mainClass=
```
**Note**
`` is the path to your Java source code's main class.
## Setting your AWS credentials
The [AWS SDK for Java](https://aws.amazon.com/sdk-for-java) requires that you provide AWS credentials to your application at runtime. The code examples in this guide assume that you are using an AWS credentials file, as described in [Set up AWS Credentials and Region for Development](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/sdk-for-java/latest/developer-guide/setup-credentials.html) in the *AWS SDK for Java Developer Guide*.
The following is an example of an AWS credentials file named `~/.aws/credentials`, where the tilde character (`~`) represents your home directory.
```
[default]
aws_access_key_id = AWS access key ID goes here
aws_secret_access_key = Secret key goes here
```
