Quasar Lite: Time-series Database for Edge Computing

  • Do you work with time-series data (sensors, metrics...) on edge devices?
  • Is ingestion speed a concern?
  • Are you dissatisfied with the performance of SQLite? 
  • Does storage footprint matter? Would you benefit from a high compression ratio and on-the-fly downsampling?
  • Does your application benefit from powerful, real-time analytics at the edge?

If you are interested in any of the questions above, here are the top 5 reasons why Quasar Lite is your ideal time-series database  for edge computing :
