Overview of skytable

What it is

Skytable is a modern scalable NoSQL database that uses BlueQL, a SQL-based query language designed for performance, scalability and flexibility. It is primarily in-memory, employs multithreaded asynchronous I/O, and uses a custom AOF-based storage engine with advanced delayed durability transactions for efficient disk I/O. Its data model is column-oriented with support for additional data models (work in progress). Skytable is intended for applications that need to store large-scale data with high performance and low latencies.

Key features

• Spaces, models and more: For flexible data definition
• Powerful querying with BlueQL: A modern query language based on SQL
• Rich data modeling: Use models to define data with complex types, collections and more
• Performant: Optimized multithreaded network I/O, write batching and several other optimizations
• Secure: Injection deterrence using BlueQL and other memory safety measures
• Enforces best practices: Practices learned while building with Skytable are intended to help users build performant systems even outside Skytable

Use cases

Skytable is best-suited for applications that need to store large-scale data, need high-performance and low latencies.
