"A distributed SQL database that offers several advantages for storing large amounts of data"
5/5
What do you like best about CrateDB?

Scalability and Flexibility: CrateDB combines the best of both worlds by providing the benefits of an SQL database along with the scalability and flexibility typically associated with NoSQL databases. It can handle tens of thousands of records per second without breaking a sweat, making it suitable for large-scale data ingestion.

Horizontally Scalable and Fault-Tolerant: CrateDB clusters run well in virtualized and containerized environments. They remain horizontally scalable, highly available, and fault-tolerant even under heavy load. This means you can easily expand your cluster as needed without compromising on performance or reliability.

Blazing-Fast Distributed Query Execution: CrateDB’s query execution engine parallelizes query workloads across the entire cluster, resulting in extremely fast query performance. Whetherwe run ad-hoc queries or complex aggregations, CrateDB handles them efficiently. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about CrateDB?

I like User-Defined Functions (UDFs) when we can extend CrateDB’s functionality by creating custom user-defined functions (UDFs). I feel CrateDB can extend these even more one day. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I've been using CrateDB and am impressed with its performance and scalability. Its real-time SQL capabilities make it very easy to use and its distributed nature allows for effortless horizontal scaling. The SQL support ensures easy integration with existing workflows, and the community and support team have been very responsive. CrateDB's flexibility and ease of use have significantly enhanced the data handling capabilities for our customer and we are evaluating more use cases together. CrateDB is also a vector database, making it ideal for large language models (LLMs) and generative AI use cases, with the capability of adding context
