QuantumLeap is the first implementation of an API that supports the storage of FIWARE NGSIv2 data into a time series database. It currently also experimentally supports the injection of NGSI-LD in a backward compatible way with NGSI-v2 API. I.e. you can retrieve NGSI-LD stored data via NGSI v2 API and retrieve data will be describe following NGSI v2 format.
QuantumLeap is not a real time API, its purpose is to process notifications received from the Context Broker and to create temporal records for them. In general, the whole FIWARE stack, being based on a micro-service architecture, cannot be regarded as real time in case you have requirements on guaranteed delivery in a given amount of time.
However, even though hard real time may not be FIWARE's forte, in our experience a properly tuned FIWARE stack can perform extremely well and handle very demanding IoT workloads without a glitch - you just need to configure your infrastructure to handle that :)

Refer to the Installation Guide.
QuantumLeap supports both Crate DB and Timescale as time-series DB backends. The following versions are currently covered in tests (see .circleci/config.yml):
- Crate backend: Crate DB version
4.2.7up to4.6.7 - Timescale backend: Postgres version
12up to16+ Timescale extension2.11.2up to2.16.1+ Postgis extension3.*.
As regards caching feature, QuantumLeap has been tested with Redis 4.* up
to 6.2.3.
Integration with Orion Context Broker is tested from version 2.4.2
up to 3.3.1.
Automated tests, to avoid too long testing time, are not combining all possible versions. This anyhow should not be an issue given that component integrations are not depending on each other. In general, only latest version listed is actively supported.
PR #373 introduced basic support for NGSI-LD. In short this means that using the current endpoint you are able to store NGSI-LD payloads with few caveats (see #398)
Docker images are available on docker hub:
latestrefers to the last release. This behaviour will be introduced since0.8.3release.edgerefers to the version in master, this behaviour is introduced since0.8.3-devactivities.*.*.*refers to specific releases.- additionally (usage is not recommended), we release images for each branch.
CrateDB versions > 4.6 is affected by log4 security issue.
We recommend to update your deployments to CrateDB 4.6.5.
For CrateDB versions >= 3.2.0 it is possible to mitigate
the issue setting -Dlog4j2.formatMsgNoLookups=true via CRATE_JAVA_OPTS
or by setting the environment variable LOG4J_FORMAT_MSG_NO_LOOKUPS=true.
