QuestDB

QuestDB is a high-performance open-source time-series database. It exposes three programmatic surfaces — an HTTP REST API for SQL queries and CSV import/export, the InfluxDB Line Protocol (ILP) over TCP and HTTP for high-throughput ingestion, and the PostgreSQL wire protocol for compatibility with existing tooling. QuestDB is offered as open-source, Enterprise (self-hosted) and Bring-Your-Own-Cloud (BYOC).

QuestDB publishes 6 APIs on the APIs.io network, including Chk API, Exec API, Exp API, and 3 more. Tagged areas include Database, Time Series, SQL, Open-Source, and Performance.

QuestDB’s developer surface includes authentication, documentation, pricing, GitHub presence, engineering blog, and 9 more developer resources.
