InfluxDB
Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.
Note, the |> operator is called 'pipe-forward', and it lets you write a series of function applications in a left-to-right direction without parentheses, instead of right-to-left. This TC39 proposal to add it to JavaScript explains the reasoning fairly well. (It comes out of the box with OCaml.)
It reads only 8 KB of data by default; this should be enough for StatsD metrics lines based on the StatsD documentation. Also, that's what Alan Ning's Rust implementation does.

The syntax is a bit weird though. There is a reason why each piece of the syntax is the way it is–it's a balance between accreting new language features over time and preserving a fast, unambiguous syntax for a fast parser. But for those who can't get used to it, ReasonML syntax is always a possibility–it's easy to install with opam (opam install reason), and dune supports it out of the box (just start writing .re files instead of .ml, and so on). It's a familiar syntax that's designed to look like JavaScript but compile to the same native executable that regular old OCaml syntax does.
