DataStorm
Distributed database

A distributed database that speaks SQL and pushes every change to you as it happens.

DataStorm speaks PostgreSQL, so psql and your existing drivers connect directly. It also has a chained document query language, and any query can become a live feed of changes. Each table can be stored as rows for transactions or as columns for analytics.

What DataStorm does

For developers building real-time apps, teams that want one engine for transactions, analytics, search and vectors, and builders of AI agents.

Store and query

  • Two query languages

    Standard SQL and a chained document language, on the same data.

  • Analytics tables

    Columnar tables answered filter queries 27 to 260 times faster than row tables in our tests.

  • Vector search

    Vector columns, HNSW indexes and similarity search combined with ordinary filters.

  • Search, maps and time

    Full-text search, geospatial functions and time-bucketed aggregation.

Real time

  • Changefeeds

    Subscribe to a query and receive every change the moment it commits.

  • Memory for AI agents

    Built-in commands for agents to remember, recall and verify facts, with access per agent.

Trust and scale

  • Transactions

    Snapshot isolation, savepoints and transactions across shards.

  • Consensus and sharding

    Every shard is replicated with Raft and splits automatically as it grows.

  • Hot standby

    A signed, chained replication log to a second cluster, promoted by an operator when needed.

  • Point-in-time restore

    Continuous log shipping and snapshots to S3 or any other target.

Secure and observable

  • Access control

    Mutual TLS, row-level security and permissions per operation and key prefix.

  • Integrity checks

    Background scrubbing finds silent data corruption.

  • Audit and metrics

    An audit log, Prometheus metrics and storage usage per tenant.
