Summary

Improvements to documentation structure, navigation, and content based on review of PR #301.

Sidebar changes

  • Restructure Ingestion Reference: Language Clients first, then Message Brokers, then Protocols
  • Remove PGWire from Ingestion Reference (it's primarily for querying)
  • Move Java Embedded under Protocols

Introduction page

  • New pitch highlighting low-latency, high-throughput, time-series SQL extensions, open formats (Parquet), AI-ready
  • Updated use cases: capital markets, fintech, crypto, energy, space exploration, robotics

Why QuestDB page

  • New intro emphasizing open source, multi-tier storage, low-latency analytics
  • Depersonalized bullet points (removed "You" pattern)
  • Added petabyte-scale storage with multi-tier architecture
  • Added capital markets/crypto capabilities section with links to Arrays, Order book analytics, OHLC charts
  • Updated use cases table: Capital markets, Banking, Aerospace, Energy

PGWire documentation

  • Restructured to lead with querying (primary use case)
  • Added "Query examples" section header
  • Moved INSERT examples to bottom of page
  • Updated intro to clarify querying vs ingestion

Other improvements

  • Renamed "Schema design essentials" to "Schema design" everywhere
  • Updated Guides component: Create database first, Ingestion overview second
  • Updated PGWire client descriptions to be query-focused and consistent length
  • Replaced Cube with Polars in SQL overview

Test plan

  • Verify sidebar structure matches expected hierarchy
  • Check all internal links work correctly
  • Verify PGWire page flows logically (query-first)
  • Confirm Why QuestDB page renders correctly with new content

🤖 Component Converter Reminder

A component in src/components/ or src/theme/ was modified in this pull request.

We are creating markdown correspondents of every path (e.g. questdb.com/docs/quick-start → questdb.com/docs/quick-start/index.md) for LLM consumption.
If the component usage is shadowing useful content, it may need a converter for markdown output in convert-components.js.

Quick Check

  • Content component (code, tables, data) → Add converter if not exists
  • UI/visual component (styling, buttons, decorative) → No converter needed

💡 This is a friendly reminder, not a blocker. Ignore if not applicable.
