Also this looks to be more of an analytical, column oriented, database. So I can imagine they're optimizing more for throughput than transactional latency. Yes that is the case

QuestDB, kdb+ and others mentioned are more geared toward time-series workloads, while Clickhouse is more toward OLAP. There are also exciting solutions on the streaming side of things with RisingWave etc.

Time-series features can be implemented in a general purpose DB engine, but the architecture of the database will be limiting for lots of use cases requiring performance, especially for high cardinality datasets. A columnar database enginee

MongoDB is one of the most successful open-source databases of all time. The parent company is a listed company and worth $15BN, 3x more than Elastic to put some perspective. This reflection [1] came from the founders of RethinkDB, a compet
