About:
QuestDB is an open-source time-series database optimized for high-throughput ingest and fast SQL queries. It uses a columnar storage model and parallel vectorized execution to deliver low-latency analytics on time-stamped data. It is wire-compatible with PostgreSQL and offers an InfluxDB line protocol for efficient data ingestion.
Key Features:
  • High-performance ingestion with parallel, vectorized execution
  • SQL with time-series extensions for powerful analytics
  • PostgreSQL wire compatibility and InfluxDB Line Protocol support
  • Schema migrations and zero-config clustering
Use Cases:
  • Real-time analytics dashboards and monitoring
  • IoT sensor data collection and analysis
  • Financial tick data storage and querying
  • Application performance metrics and logging
Alternatives:
  • InfluxDB – InfluxDB is widely used for metrics; QuestDB emphasizes SQL and raw performance.
  • TimescaleDB – TimescaleDB is PostgreSQL-based; QuestDB is standalone with ingest-focused architecture.
