QuestDB, a leader in time series and real-time analytics, announced that Aquis Exchange, a leading European Operator of Pan-European equity trading exchanges, is using the QuestDB open source time series database to monitor its institutional exchange in real time. This partnership enables Aquis Exchange to improve its monitoring and real-time decision-making capabilities with open source software at the core of their infrastructure while reducing costs.
In an industry where each microsecond counts, it is essential for financial exchanges to monitor their infrastructure in real-time and react as fast as possible to guarantee orderly and fair market prices. Aquis Exchange, authorised and regulated by the UK Financial Conduct Authority and France’s Autorité des Marchés Financiers, has chosen to rely on open source technology to track infrastructure, business, and market data. QuestDB allows to store, aggregate, and chart all those metrics in real-time with high throughput ingestion and querying capabilities in SQL. By replacing expensive and inflexible proprietary software with open source software focused on performance and integration, Aquis has built cost-efficient solutions which reliably persist exchange-scale time series data in bursts exceeding 1M tps while concurrently handling complex multi-user analytic queries.
