Our take

Time-series data, that which is recorded with time as a variable, is increasingly being generated by servers, sensors, and devices, and can provide valuable insight into how things evolve over time. But the sheer volume of the data collected may make it difficult to analyse or turn into actionable intelligence. QuestDB offers an open-source time series database that can do just this, by performing high-performance real-time analytics with SQL.

QuestDB claims to have built the fastest open-source time-series database on the market. It provides time series insights and real-time applications for a range of purposes, from DevOps monitoring to geospatial analysis, all of which require high-performance queries to be made across huge data sets. The company stands out from notable competitors by enabling the use of SQL alone as a query language for data questions, removing the need for developers to learn a proprietary query language.

The company has secured significant funds which are cited to grow its team, increase product development, and accelerate adoption of the database. QuestDB has an extensive roadmap which includes a broad range of improvements and optimisations for the platform.
