Re:Launch HN: QuestDB (YC S20) – Fast open source time serie... by JonoBB on Wednesday July 29, 2020 @07:29AM (#23985515)
Broadly timeseries DB's are optimized around the following:

- ingesting large amounts of data

- aggregating data around a "time" field (i.e. per minute, per hour, etc)

- updates are rare

- deletes are rare

By sacrificing update and delete functionality, timeseries DB's can optimize creating and reading records.
