Real-time database for SaaS | Analytics, search and AI

Real-time insights for your customers

Deliver analytics dashboards, user metrics, and event streams in real time. CrateDB handles high-ingest workloads and complex queries simultaneously, ensuring fast responses even as your data grows.

Effortless scalability

Add or remove nodes to handle fluctuating workloads and user growth. CrateDB’s shared-nothing architecture ensures seamless horizontal scaling with no downtime.

Cost-efficient operations

Use hot, warm, and cold data tiers to manage costs while maintaining performance for recent and historical data. Deploy on any cloud, on-premises, or hybrid environment for maximum flexibility.

Multi-model simplicity

Manage relational, JSON, time-series, full-text, and vector data in a single system. Avoid maintaining separate databases for analytics, logs, and AI features. CrateDB handles them all with SQL.

AI-powered features

Store and query embeddings, perform vector similarity search, and combine them with your application data. Easily integrate AI-driven recommendations, semantic search, and personalization into your SaaS product.

Built-in reliability

CrateDB ensures high availability and fault tolerance by automatically replicating and rebalancing data. Keep your platform responsive and resilient, even during maintenance or node failures.

Media

Bitmovin is a leading video streaming company. They use CrateDB to store 140 terabytes of storage, both user events and user interactions. Every day, there is one billion of new lines of data, with the largest tables containing around 60 billion playback events.

"It is through the use of CrateDB that we are able to offer our large-scale video analytics component in the first place. Comparable products are either not capable of handling the large flood of data or they are simply too expensive."

Photography

Shoott is a photography company that offers affordable, professional photoshoots through a seamless booking process and personalized customer experience. They faced a critical challenge when their analytics engine, powered by Rockset, was discontinued.

"CrateDB has enabled us to maintain seamless analytics despite the transition from Rockset. With its flexible schema and powerful indexing, we’ve been able to handle complex data efficiently and reduce manual overhead. This has allowed our teams to focus on delivering key insights while ensuring our systems remain scalable for future growth."

Telco

VoIPstudio is an award-winning VoIP phone service. They use CrateDB to manage call detail records (CDRs). MySQL had been used successfully for several years, but due to increasingly poor performance it was replaced by CrateDB.

"After a successful and problem-free implementation it became clear to us that CrateDB was the solution we were looking for. We gained better performance and new possibilities for our customers. We are going to improve and extend our cloud system using CrateDB."

Content creation

ClearVoice provides content writing services and with an ecosystem of top writers. They use CrateDB to power their search index, which stores 20 million records and this is expected to grow to billions in the near future.

"I started looking at CrateDB and was impressed by the quality of the code. Switching from MySQL to CrateDB took a couple of days. It was very convenient to integrate CrateDB into our existing base even though it was written for a different database. The fact that CrateDB uses SQL lowers the barrier to entry when using distributed search. And on top of that, with CrateDB you can replace MongoDB and Elastisearch with one scalable package."

Location services

Spatially Health is a provider of location intelligence software.They use CrateDB for their data scientists to find geographic insights through the patterns and relationships in their data by analyzing terabytes of data. They plan to scale CrateDB to handle hundreds of terabytes as it continues to expand to other cities.

"Postgres couldn't keep up with the data we have; Datastax Enterprise had ingest scaling issues with spatial data; Cassandra didn't have spatial query operations. CrateDB was the only database we found that could smoothly process data for our users and for our data science team. We fell in love with it immediately."

Location services

Clickdrive.io tracks automotive vehicle fleets in real-time. They use CrateDB to enable storage and analysis of up to 2,000 data points per second, per car.

"Most of the cars in our customers' fleets are in use almost 24 hours a day, and we need to store and analyse the massive amounts of data they generate in real time. We tried a few different SQL and NoSQL databases, and CrateDB offered the best combination of high performance, scalability and ease of use."

Founder
Clickdrive.io

Database consolidation, Software

The GolfNow division of the NBC Universal GolfChannel is trusted by 4 million registered golfers to search for golf courses that fit preference and budget. They use CrateDB to currently perform real-time queries of more than 300 million rows of data, hundreds of times per second.

"CrateDB was a better solution for our needs than any other SQL or NoSQL database we tried. It was easy to migrate code off of our legacy SQL database and onto CrateDB to immediately benefit from its data flexibility and scalable performance."

Mobility

DriveNow helps travelers find and easily compare the best online rates for car and campervan rentals in real time. They use CrateDB to store clickstream data, comprising logs of pages users visit, links they click, search filters they select and site-generated emails they interact with. Real-time queries are made to analyze how promotional campaigns, user interface design changes and A/B tests affect the user experience.

"CrateDB is ideal because it's capable of writing data at a high rate, and delivering fast queries to our business team at the same time. We couldn't have done that using a traditional SQL database without a lot of difficulty."

Geospatial tracking, Location services

AVUXI provides location context for travel and real estate. They use CrateDB to collect and query geotagged data from over 65 million locations, processing over 20 million events every day.

"It is a pleasure working with companies like yours, that listen and care about their customers."

AI/ML, Software

Qualtrics is the leader in experience management software. They use CrateDB to process open text survey responses and enable machine learning algorithms to be applied to the data to make it easier to gain insights from thousands of pieces of feedback per hour.

"CrateDB gives us ease of SQL combined with easy scaling, and real-time querying of full-text data."

Public sector

GovSpend, a leading provider of analytics, insight, search, and data feed products, delivers a complete platform for government agencies and private companies to maximize the value of their public-private commercial relationships. CrateDB allows GovSpend to run arbitrary queries and track various metrics through dashboards, with its ability to handle nested data, execute quickly, and offer replication and high availability.

"We explored several solutions like Clickhouse, Rockset, Snowflake, among others. CrateDB is a great fit for us. Having a Cloud offer was perfect along with having the nested structure we were looking for."
