Ingesting Over Four Million Rows Per Second With QuestDB Timeseries Database - Berlin Buzzwords

How would you build a database to support sustained ingestion of several hundreds of thousands rows per second while running near real-time queries on top? In this session I will go over some of the technical decisions and trade-offs we applied when building QuestDB, an open source time-series database developed mainly in JAVA, and how we can achieve over four million row writes per second on a single instance without blocking or slowing down the reads. There will be code and demos, of course. We will also review a history of some of the changes we have gone over the past two years to deal with late and unordered data, non-blocking writes, read-replicas, or faster batch ingestion.Read less
