Timeseries: what are ASOF joins?
In QuasarDB 3.5 we introduced ASOF joins. If you’re new to timeseries databases, you may be confused about what ASOF joins are, and how useful they are.
Why we are changing our release process
How do you release software? The traditional approach to software release is to make a list of features estimate how long it will take, and plan accordingly.
Ingesting 10 billion rows of timeseries data in 95 seconds
Timeseries data = ingestion challenges If there’s one thing that’s hard when managing timeseries data is just the sheer amount of it. Timeseries data has volume built-in because it’s cumulative. You don’t want a single picture: you want the whole movie!
Introducing Delta4C: a high speed, adaptive, lossless compressor for timeseries
This post is part of a series about the challenges behind database performance and how to accurately assess it. Why compression matters so much for timeseries data Whatever database engine you are using, efficient disk storage is always welcomed. When your 10 GiB become 100 GiB once in the database, that’s never a nice thing!

This post is part of a series about the challenges behind database performance and how to accurately assess it. You don’t care about performance When we started selling QuasarDB, we focused on its performance advantages and touted how great they were. The logic behind that was obvious: we were very strong in this area; thus […]
