BTG Pactual powers real-time market data APIs with QuestDB

Latin America's largest investment bank uses QuestDB to deliver low-latency market data APIs for equities and derivatives trading. QuestDB also supports post-trade analysis, helping traders assess execution quality against benchmarks like VWAP and TWAP.
  • High throughput: Ingesting trades and corporate actions for derivatives in real time
  • Dynamic queries: Materialized views to produce candlestick charts and cascading views (1s, 5s, 1min etc.) for historical data
  • Post-trade troubleshooting: Correlates electronic trading and algorithm events for execution quality
BTG Pactual logo

"QuestDB has become the standard for data aggregation. Besides that, QuestDB has proven itself to be lightning fast, fast enough to help us when providing raw live intraday trading data through our set of APIs within a few milliseconds."

Renan Avila
Director

One SQL engine, multiple storage tiers.

Scale fast. Stay open.

Query QuestDB's native format on local storage and Parquet files on object storage simultaneously, all through a single SQL query. Data tiers automatically without manual intervention. Open formats eliminate lock-in while dataframe libraries and AI frameworks connect natively.

WHERE symbol in ('AAPL', 'NVDA')
LATEST ON timestamp PARTITION BY symbol
CREATE MATERIALIZED VIEW 'trades_OHLC'
min(price) AS low
timestamp IN today()
SELECT spread_bps(bids[1][1], asks[1][1])
FROM read_parquet('trades.parquet')
SAMPLE BY 15m
Open formats

Leverages existing open formats. No vendor lock-in.

Apache Parquet

Enhanced compression and encoding, for ingress or egress.

Super read/write

Fast ingest and low latency SQL queries

Full stream

Stream market data in from feeds or sensors, apply Parquet on read

Direct to Parquet?

Bypass QuestDB ingest, query Parquet directly from the object store

Versatile ecosystem

Diverse clients connect to your data, app, AI and ML frameworks
