Quesma reached General Availability on November 13, releasing a stable version as a Docker container under the Elastic code-available license. The tool acts as a database gateway that translates Elastic Query Language (EQL) to SQL, enabling users to migrate from Elasticsearch to backends like ClickHouse or Hydrolix while keeping Kibana or OpenSearch Dashboards functional. The newsletter also recaps community events including Google Cloud Summit Poland and KubeCon, links to a blog post comparing Grafana vs Elastic business strategies, and rounds up database industry news: PostgreSQL analytics extensions gaining traction (pg_parquet, pg_duckdb), NoSQL decline at scale, Google BigQuery pipe syntax, MariaDB acquisition by K1 for $37M, Supabase's $80M Series C, and Google's paper on SQL pipe syntax improvements.
