Peak performance time-series

Hyper ingestion

For massive volumes of time-series data, trust a specialized time-series database. Timestamps are first-class, and blistering throughput is sustained even through the highest data cardinality. Deduplication and out-of-order ingestion also work right out-of-the-box.

Using QuestDB, we deliver time series datasets with real-time market data from a top 10 blockchain. This outperforms a legacy cloud-based data platform at a fraction of the cost, reducing TCO by >90%.

Better on a Pi, best on full hardware

Max performance, min hardware

Compute costs keep rising. Keep them low with an efficient solution. QuestDB runs well on low hardware, within high cardinality data and with deduplication and out-of-order indexing. On just a 4GB Raspberry Pi, QuestDB outperforms competitors on robust hardware. Have robust hardware? QuestDB scales up to many millions of rows per second.

We switched from InfluxDB to QuestDB to get queries that are on average 300x faster utilizing 1/4 of the hardware, without ever overtaxing our servers.
