Byond QuestDB being *incredibly fast*, it's also a joy to use. And more importantly, it's not a pain to use. Other DBs require more ongoing maintenance, troubleshooting, etc. QuestDB truly is a "set it & forget it", trustworthy DB that shines in production workloads. The inbuilt SQL extensions and curated dialect make writing QuestDB SQL fast, fun, and powerful. The inbult REST support, in addition to the InfluxDB Line Protocol & PG Wire connection methods allow the user to select the best tool for the job. Being open source, the deployment flexibility is fantastic. The QuestDB team regularly meets with us to ensure we're satisfied, and they regularly ship impactful features. QuestDB is my definitive go-to for all timeseries needs!

I had invested a lot of time prototyping a project with another time-series database and was finding a lot of pain points. I decided to give QuestDB a go, and the transition process was really easy and most of the issues I had with the other DB simply went away. Additionally, I gained valuable time when my application starts and has to read current state from the DB... QuestDB delivered my data in half the time the other DB did. I also like the SQL syntax - it's just one less new thing I need to pick up when starting with QuestDB. The free/open source version is great for my purposes.

+ Very fast + Extremly feature rich + Nice time Zone Handling integrated + Very fast en knowledgable support + Easy to setup
