I've never heard of QuestDB until this post, but I very much like what you guys are doing.
InfluxDB 1.x had a chance to be great: the wrote a time series database that used a SQL-like dialect, they had a really nice alerting platform, they had a really nice visiualization tool. Then they abandoned all of that to jump on the hype train of "Write a new programming language!" which was the hot thing like 5 or 6 hype cycles ago. We've _never_ upgraded to their 2.x product because it literally threw away our investment.
I think if you guys get pick up where they departed you'll be tremendously successful.
- nhourcard 3y agothanks for the kind words! We want to stick with SQL - having done a few extensions to make it easier to work with time series data such as SAMPLE BY, LATEST ON, etc. Window functions that the product has been lacking for some time are next to bridge the gap vs other more mature platforms while offering something very new and unique on the performance side, especially ingestion related.
- jurgenkesker 3y agoHow are you feeling about the upcoming InfluxDB 3? They moved to Rust and support InfluxQL again.
- exabrial 3y agoI'll have to take a look. If Kapacitor is back, then I'm in.
