  QuestDB is a high-performance open-source time-series database. It exposes
  three programmatic surfaces — an HTTP REST API for SQL queries and CSV
  import/export, the InfluxDB Line Protocol (ILP) over TCP and HTTP for
  high-throughput ingestion, and the PostgreSQL wire protocol for compatibility
  with existing tooling. QuestDB is offered as open-source, Enterprise
  (self-hosted) and Bring-Your-Own-Cloud (BYOC).
