Case Study: Aquis Exchange achieves real-time exchange-wide surveillance with QuestDB

Aquis Exchange powers real-time exchange surveillance with QuestDB

Aquis Exchange, a pan-European financial exchange, needed a system to capture every market event—including orders, trades, and infrastructure metrics—for real-time surveillance and monitoring. Their challenge was to find a high-throughput database capable of ingesting this data with consistent low latency and fast query performance to react to activity and trigger alerts, all while simplifying operations with SQL compatibility. They chose QuestDB to address this.

QuestDB provided a solution that enabled Aquis to restructure their domain model for live order-book aggregation and transaction analysis. The implementation allowed them to plug directly into Grafana for real-time visualization and to join time-series with relational data for richer analytics. As a result, QuestDB empowered Aquis to conduct comprehensive, real-time exchange-wide surveillance with predictable performance as their dataset continues to grow.
