We've had a UDP version of the InfluxDB Line Protocol (ILP) reader in QuestDB for quite some time, but we've had customers ask for a TCP version of it, so we delivered!

Using it, and configuring it, are relatively simple so don't expect this to be a long post but I'll walk you through the basics of how to set it up and use it. For an added bonus I'll show you how to migrate from using InfluxDB to using QuestDB with a less than a line of configuration.

InfluxDB is the current market leader in time series, and we thought it would only be fair if we had a stab at their ingestion format called InfluxDB line protocol (“ILP”) to compare data ingestion performance between QuestDB and InfluxDB.
