QuestDB is an open-source time-series database offering blazingly fast ingestion
and dynamic, low-latency SQL queries.
QuestDB delivers a multi-tier storage engine (WAL → native → Parquet on object storage),
and the core engine is implemented in zero-GC Java and C++; QuestDB Enterprise includes additional components in Rust.
We achieve high performance via a column-oriented storage model, parallelized
vector execution, SIMD instructions, and low-latency techniques. In addition,
QuestDB is hardware efficient, with quick setup and operational efficiency.

Benefits of QuestDB
Feature highlights include:
- Low-latency, high-throughput ingestion — from single events to millions/sec
- Low-latency SQL with time-series extensions (ASOF JOIN, WINDOW JOIN, HORIZON JOIN, SAMPLE BY, LATEST ON)
- SIMD-accelerated, parallel execution
- Multi-tier storage: WAL → native columnar → Parquet (time-partitioned and time-ordered)
- Postgres protocol (PGwire) and REST API
- Views, materialized views, and n-dimensional arrays (incl. 2D arrays for order books)
- Web console for queries and data management
- Apache 2.0 open source and open formats — no vendor lock-in
- Finance functions and orderbook analytics
QuestDB excels with:
- financial market data (tick data, trades, order books, OHLC)
- Sensor/telemetry data with high data cardinality
- real-time dashboards and monitoring
- AI coding agents for automated data pipelines and analytics
And why use a time-series database?
Beyond performance and efficiency, with a specialized time-series database, you
don't need to worry about:
- out-of-order data
- deduplication and exactly one semantics
- Continuous streaming ingest with many concurrent queries
- streaming data (low latency)
- volatile and "bursty" data
- adding new columns - change schema "on the fly" while streaming data
Try QuestDB, demo and dashboards
The live, public demo is provisioned with the latest
QuestDB release and sample datasets:
- Trades: live crypto trades with 30M+ rows per month (OKX exchange)
- FX order book: live charts with orderbook FX pairs.
- Trips: 10 years of NYC taxi trips with 1.6 billion rows
We also have some public, real-time demo dashboards using
our Grafana-native plugin:
- Real-time crypto trades: executed
trades on OKX from more than 20 assets in real time
- FX order book: live depth/imbalance charts for major FX pairs
QuestDB performance vs. other databases
QuestDB performs very well in performance benchmarks compared to alternatives.

As always, we encourage you to run your own benchmarks.
AI coding agents
QuestDB works out of the box with AI coding agents. Install the
QuestDB agent skill and go from prompt to
production in under 60 seconds: streaming ingestion, materialized views, and
real-time analytics with zero manual code.
