CrateDB – distributed SQL database management

CrateDB is a distributed SQL database that makes it simple to store and analyze massive amounts of data in real-time.

CrateDB offers the benefits of an SQL database and the scalability and flexibility typically associated with NoSQL databases. Modest CrateDB clusters can ingest tens of thousands of records per second without breaking a sweat. You can run ad-hoc queries using standard SQL. CrateDB’s distributed query execution engine parallelizes query workloads across the whole cluster.

This is free and open source software.

Features include:

  • Use standard SQL via the PostgreSQL wire protocol or an HTTP API.
  • Dynamic table schemas and queryable objects provide document-oriented features in addition to the relational features of SQL.
  • Support for time-series data, real-time full-text search, geospatial data types and search capabilities.
  • Horizontally scalable, highly available and fault-tolerant clusters that run very well in virtualized and containerized environments.
  • Extremely fast distributed query execution.
  • Auto-partitioning, auto-sharding, and auto-replication.
  • Self-healing and auto-rebalancing.
  • User-defined functions (UDFs) can be used to extend the functionality of CrateDB.
