Squirreling is a lightweight SQL engine designed for web browsers, enabling users to query large datasets directly in the browser without a backend. It uses async execution and late materialization to provide fast, interactive data exploration. Open-sourced and compact, it runs entirely client-side with minimal dependencies.

InfluxDB 3 Core represents a significant rewrite aimed at enhancing speed and simplicity, addressing user demands for unlimited cardinality, SQL support, and a separation of compute and storage. The open-source version simplifies installation with a one-command setup and is designed to efficiently handle high cardinality data without compromising performance.
