With the official launch of 6.0 just around the corner, we want to keep you up to speed on our latest updates, news and content from recent weeks.
QuestDB 6.0 alpha is out#
We're happy to announce that the alpha release for QuestDB 6.0 is now available!
This release adds support for out-of-order ingestion (O3) on-the-fly and as a result, does not enforce that records arrive in chronological order. O3 adds flexibility and efficiency of use to the system and provides compatibility with the Time Series Benchmark Suite (TSBS) which is used to reliably measure and compare the performance of time series databases.
The goal is to get as much feedback on performance or issues so feel free to reach out on Slack and let us know how the alpha is running!
