Did you consider confusion with the Arc browser and still go with the name, or were you calling this Arc first and decided to just stick with it?

- ignaciovdk 1y agoHey, good question! I didn’t really worry about confusion since this isn’t a browser, it’s a completely different animal. The name actually came from “Ark”, as in something that stores and carries, but I decided to go with Arc to avoid sounding too biblical. The deeper reason is that Arc isn’t just about ingestion; it’s designed to store data long-term for other databases like InfluxDB, Timescale, or Kafka using Parquet and S3-style backends that scale economically while still letting you query everything with SQL.
