QuestDB is heralded as the world's fastest growing time-series database, emphasizing superior ingestion throughput and analytics efficiency while remaining open-source and widely integrable. The author's reflections illuminate the duality of software development: the joy of creating from scratch versus the frustration of modifying existing complex systems. Key decisions made early in projects can shape their future, potentially leading to technical debt that complicates later progress. The narrative serves as a reminder to approach foundational choices with awareness, aiming for sustainable, maintainable code rather than short-term fixes that may hinder future development.
At almost every step in the early phases of a software project, you are one decision away from a disaster. This disaster won't end up rendering the entire project useless, but it will manifest itself as tech debt.
Those early milestones like your first contributor or bit of customer feedback feel rewarding, especially when contrasted with the frustration of making tiny changes to someone else's pre-built code.
