Web services platform with nested stream generation

A web services platform for managing timeseries data provided by one or more data sources, the web services platform comprising:

• one or more computer-readable storage media having instructions stored thereon that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to:
• collect samples of the timeseries data from the one or more data sources and generate one or more input timeseries comprising a plurality of the samples;
• identify a first timeseries processing workflow that uses the input timeseries as an input and defines one or more processing operations to be applied to the samples of the input timeseries;
• perform the one or more processing operations defined by the first timeseries processing workflow to generate a first derived timeseries comprising a first set of derived timeseries samples;
• identify a second timeseries processing workflow that uses the first derived timeseries as an input and defines one or more processing operations to be applied to the samples of the input timeseries;
• perform the one or more processing operations defined by the second timeseries processing workflow to generate a second derived timeseries comprising a second set of derived timeseries samples;
• and
• store the input timeseries and the first and second derived timeseries in a timeseries database.
