CrateDB

The Database for Real-Time Analytics and Hybrid Search

Welcome!

CrateDB is an Open Source distributed database that makes it simple to store and analyze massive amounts of data in near real-time. As a multi-model database for time series, documents and vectors, it combines the simplicity of SQL with the scalability of a distributed architecture.
