Nick Hourcard, QuestDB

Back then, there were not many open source solutions to deal with time series efficiently. Nicolas Hourcard saw this need and decided to co-found QuestDB, which is not only an open source time-series database but also the fastest one at that. In this episode, he joins Ben Rometsch to share the genesis of this project and the problems they were trying to fix with it. Who are the most common users of the platform? How was their experience of launching it on GitHub? Where do we draw the line between free and paid support? How do you build your community? Nick answers these questions and more in this conversation.
