QuasarDB “Seneca” 3.14.0 Released

We are thrilled to announce the immediate availability of QuasarDB 3.14.0, an update from 3.13.7.

Multiple performance and fixes have been added in this release, as well as support for multiple readers from a single S3 bucket, improved S3 backup speed, and, last but not least, initial support for windowing functions with the SQL OVER syntax.

This version sets a new standard in terms of speed, compression, and analytical power for timeseries databases and has been battle tested over multiple petabytes data sets in use case as diverse as asset health monitoring, orderbook analysis, cybersecurity, and electric grid simulations.
