&gt; They&#x27;re not directly comparable, but kdb+ would crush InfluxDB head to head in an apple&#x2F;orange comparison if used for the same thing. I actually can&#x27;t think of any time series-like store that remotely comes close to the feats I have seen kdb+ with Q accomplish. Too bad the productivity and knowledge overhead is so high.<p>Do you have any more specific use cases for the kind of analysis that kdb+ is used for? I&#x27;m working with timeseries sources that represent streams from internal variables from embedded systems and would like to evaluate whether kdb+ brings something to the table that we could use. (What we are doing probably falls into the category Complex Event Processing, i.e. windowed operations on the data stream with some predicates being evaluated globally.)
