Quesma
Quesma is a venture-backed startup focused on re-inventing the database layer for applications. They offer a data proxy that routes, translates, and optimizes queries, aiming to reduce costs by up to 10x and enable modern data tools to work with existing codebases. Quesma's solution bridges the gap between existing systems, like the Elastic Stack (Kibana, Logstash, Beats), and cost-effective analytical databases such as ClickHouse. This allows companies to offload data to more efficient storage while maintaining their current observability pipelines. The company emphasizes making it easier for businesses to modernize their application architecture by un-bundling the application stack from the database engine, mitigating the risks and costs associated with traditional database migrations. Quesma is positioned to help companies innovate faster by simplifying the modernization of their core application stack.
