QuestDB + Hacktoberfest 2025: Build Something That Lasts

QuestDB, an open-source time-series database known for its high performance and simplicity, is participating in Hacktoberfest, an annual open-source celebration organized by DigitalOcean that runs throughout October. This event invites participants worldwide to contribute to open-source projects by making pull requests, offering an opportunity to enhance skills and engage with the developer community. QuestDB, with its core engine built in Java, C++, and Rust, and a web console in TypeScript and React, encourages contributors to focus on impactful issues rather than minor fixes, while discouraging AI-generated contributions to emphasize original work. Participants contributing to QuestDB during Hacktoberfest can earn exclusive rewards, such as an exclusive t-shirt, in addition to the standard Hacktoberfest rewards. The QuestDB team promotes active participation through guidelines, community forums, and communication channels to assist contributors in making meaningful contributions that improve the database and foster a sense of community.
