Announcing a change at Quesma: after 1.5 years of collaboration, my co-founder and CPO, Paweł, and I have decided to part ways as co-founders. Our journey began at Sumo Logic, where we shared a vision to make a meaningful impact in the data industry. After leaving Sumo, I began brainstorming ideas for a new venture and invited Paweł to join me in building Quesma. Together, we secured venture funding, built a dedicated team, and signed our first commercial deal. However, after much reflection, we agreed that parting ways was the right decision.

As of January 2025, Paweł will no longer be with the company in an operational role. I’m pleased to share that he will remain an advisor to Quesma, and I look forward to continuing our insightful discussions about the future of databases. I am deeply grateful for Paweł’s contributions to Quesma and wish him all the best in his future endeavors.

This decision does not change our mission or plans at Quesma: to simplify how applications interact with databases and enable organizations to evolve their data architecture seamlessly. We’re building a database gateway that helps development teams modernize their infrastructure and adapt to new challenges without unnecessary complexity. Personally, I’ve never been more excited about what we’re building than I am right now.

With partnerships like Hydrolix, ClickHouse, and major players in the telecommunications and streaming industries, the team at Quesma continues to deliver value to our partners and customers. By providing the right tools, we aim to help companies move quickly, innovate effectively, and fully realize the potential of their data. This vision continues to drive us forward with determination and clarity. If you’re interested in learning more, feel free to reach out!

P.S. Things happen. Our founding engineer, Przemysław Delewski, is launching an OpenTelemetry project with Alibaba Cloud and Datadog on auto-instrumentation for programs written in Go.
