QuestDB 8.1.2 - Tabs & Balance

QuestDB 8.1.2 introduces a suite of new features and enhancements aimed at balancing innovation with stability, making it ideal for high-demand time-series data processing environments. Key updates include the addition of Web Console tabs for improved query management, new financial functions like spread_bps for analyzing bid-ask spreads, and functions like greatest and least for data comparison. The release also supports flexible timezone adjustments for date interval queries and introduces the string_distinct_agg function for summarizing distinct dataset entries. Performance improvements are achieved through a static metadata cache, optimized partition reloads, and faster query execution, particularly with complex aggregations and SQL comments. Enhanced compatibility with tools like Bento by Warpstream Labs and Redpanda Connect, alongside improvements in InfluxDB Line Protocol handling, underscore QuestDB's commitment to seamless integrations and robust data ingestion capabilities.
