La semana que viene en @commitconf hablaré de cómo hace #questdb para escribir 4+ millones de eventos/registros por segundo. Ando preparando slides, y acepto sugerencias si te apetece alguna cosa específica. Puedes marcarla como favorita en tu agenda https://koliseo.com/events/commit-2023/agenda/0

@dvicente Thanks for the mention to my talk, Diego. If you want to play with QuestDB and need any pointers do let me know :)

How fast can you write DataFrames from
@pandas_dev into your favourite database? If the answer is "slower than 1.1Million rows per second", maybe it's time for you to choose a new favourite database. Maybe one who cares enough as to make DataFrames a first class citizen #questdb. https://github.com/questdb/py-tsbs-benchmark

Who will be the developer helping #QuestDB reach 10K stars on GitHub? It could be you! https://github.com/questdb/questdb ⭐ 🌟 🤩

This intro video to
#questdb
is quite awesome. https://youtube.com/watch?v=A8uMF64rbS8&ab_channel=CodetotheMoon. Ken makes a great job comparing how you could run a query on both #questdb and
#PostgreSQL, so you can get the idea why a specialised database can be a good idea if you have a specific use case. The video also features streaming ingestion using @rustlang, batch ingestion using CSV, time-based joins and a few other cool things. He is the teacher I would have liked to have when I was studying databases!

A popular question we get is how you can monitor and observe your #QuestDB instances. There are many possible answers, but our own
Steve Sklar
just did a pretty cool write up of how it can be done using, of course, only open source tools. ❤️ https://questdb.io/blog/2022/12/13/using-prometheus-loki-grafana-monitor-questdb-kubernetes/

It is actually on Saturday February 4th, but everything else is correct :)

Super happy to announce there will be a devroom for "Fast and Streaming Data" at
@fosdem in 2023, on Saturday Feb 3rd morning. We got confirmation yesterday and will start the CFP within the next two days. You can start thinking of what proposal(s) you will be sending over!

@tecnijota y a mí 🤣

I want to thank the Javier from the past who 5 years ago thought it would be cool to choose a short handle for mastodon
