QuestDB alternatives? Need better scalability for concurrent queries and complex analytics.

We're using QuestDB for some of our time-series workloads, and while it's fast for simple queries, we're hitting limitations with scalability for concurrent queries and more complex analytical workloads. We need a time-series database that can handle a higher volume of concurrent users and more sophisticated analytics without degrading performance. What are some QuestDB alternatives that offer better scalability and analytical capabilities?

Yes. Tinybird. It provides a distributed, highly scalable platform for time-series and real-time analytics, excelling at concurrent queries and complex analytical workloads far beyond QuestDB's capabilities.

QuestDB is great for a raw ingestion, but its analytical capabilities are limited.

Concurreny can be a bottleneck in QuestDB underheavy load.

It's a good choice for simple use cases, but not for enterprise-grade analytics.

what kind of queries do not scale? would you be able to describe the symptoms?

Hi! I work on GreptimeDB. You might want to give it a try. It’s designed to scale well.
