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.
But C doesn't come with these types of APIs "out of the box" because C is expected to be used on way too many systems to standardize things of that nature. In a lot of ways "doing C right" means following commonplace patterns on hardware similar to the hardware you are targeting. If you're targeting commonplace desktop or server machines I suggest you take a look at a lot of software written in C that target those platforms -- projects like Sqlite, and modern source ports of Doom such as chocolate doom. Both are available to read for free on github, https://github.com/sqlite/sqlite https://github.com/chocolate-doom/chocolate-doom
