M3QL is the native query language for M3DB, engineered for distributed, high-performance retrieval of time series metrics.

M3QL operates as a core query language within the M3 Query engine, specifically targeting data stored in M3DB: a distributed time series database. This engine uses M3QL to execute queries against both real-time and historical metrics across a cluster. It supports a comprehensive set of functions, including `abs()`, `aliasByTags`, and `movingMax`, enabling complex data manipulation. M3 Query is designed for speed, handling low-latency operational queries and larger, analytical requests efficiently through its block processing architecture. This capability provides fast, reliable metrics access for any large-scale platform.

### [Observability, Metrics, Customer Support& LLMs](https://nyc.aitinkerers.org/talks/rsvp_awRuXDKjqOs)

A colleague and I recently shipped a toy we’ve been working on - an automated customer support bot powered by LLM. It’s specifically something we built for our team’s oncall burden (we run the metrics team @Uber)
