Quickstep: A Data Platform Based on the Scaling-Up Approach

Summary: Quickstep is a single-node data platform exploiting server parallelism (scaling up) for in-memory data warehousing. Integrates data-management techniques with new query processing for read-mostly in-memory workloads, delivering strong single-node gains. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
