LLMs + REST APIs = powerful combos.

Here’s Claude Code querying a ~1BN row crypto dataset from QuestDB using plain SQL over HTTP. No SDKs, just curl.

Clean pattern for real-time insights with minimal setup. Screenshot below.

Real-time analytics is still too complex—too many tools, too much glue.

Are we close to a true all-in-one solution?

Middle of a dashboard refresh is a bad time for GC.

QuestDB sidesteps it with:

* Off-heap memory
* Memory-mapped partitions
* Native C++/Rust in the hot path

What you need. Where you need it. When you need it.

We watched Interstellar. That movie is a trip!

Slow dashboards make us feel like the wave planet.

We like 'em live, like our fresh crypto dashboards.

Somewhere in a database... a lonely little row from 2017 still holds out for hope.

QuestDB’s TTL helps old data move on.

Listen, row, don't think of it as deletion... More like closure.

We just need some time for ourselves (and our more recent data).

This is your database when you don’t use materialized views to pre-compute aggregates.

Every dashboard refresh is like a hot iron to the foot.

Save your DB('s feet)! Materialize your views.

Our real-time crypto dashboards received a fresh coat of paint.

New dashboards featuring:

* Candles
* Coefficients
* VWAPs
* More

Ooh-hoo, yep 'lotta neat stuff. And it's all fast and fluid.

To the moon, and such!

MCP is shiny and new.

Vector databases are shiny and new, too.

What can a vector DB do that a high-performance DB + frontier model via MCP can’t?

Genuine inquiry! — Please share your use case.

A common typo: WAL log (Write-Ahead Log log)

Or is it?!

Write-Ahead Logs (WAL) actually do log twice.

First to the WAL.

Then to the DB.

Asking an LLM for an exact price point is like asking a poet for your bank balance.

You might get a moving response…

But it won’t be right.

“ETH price on March 8, 2022?”

“Twas fair and volatile, sir.”

Hmm... You'll need a database.

Structured data is very sneaky!

Just ask your favourite LLM.

1GB of text = ~250M tokens
1GB of structured trades = ~1B tokens

That’s 4× the token cost for less semantic richness.

Our new agentic friends have many capabilities, chewing structured data not among them.
