QuestDB is an open-source time-series database for high throughput ingestion and fast SQL queries with operational simplicity.
QuestDB is well-suited for financial market data, IoT sensor data, ad-tech and real-time dashboards. It shines for datasets with high cardinality and is a drop-in replacement for InfluxDB via support for the InfluxDB Line Protocol.
QuestDB implements ANSI SQL with native time-series SQL extensions. These SQL extensions make it simple to filter and downsample data, or correlate data from multiple sources using relational and time-series joins.
We achieve high performance by adopting a column-oriented storage model, parallelized vector execution, SIMD instructions, and low-latency techniques. The entire codebase is built from the ground up in Java, C++ and Rust with no dependencies and zero garbage collection.
QuestDB supports schema-agnostic streaming ingestion using the InfluxDB line protocol and a REST API for bulk imports and exports. The QuestDB SQL Web Console is an interactive SQL editor facilitating CSV import. Finally, QuestDB also includes the Postgres Wire Protocol for programmatic queries.
Popular tools that integrate with QuestDB include Apache Kafka, Grafana, Superset, Telegraf and Apache Flink.
We provide a live demo provisioned with the latest QuestDB release and sample datasets:
- Trips: 10 years of NYC taxi trips with 1.6 billion rows
- Trades: live crypto market data with 30M+ rows per month
- Pos: geolocations of 250k unique ships over time
Checkout our interactive real-time market data dashboards and NYC Taxi Data Analytics Dashboards powered by QuestDB and Grafana.
