Databases

Open-source databases worth knowing about, from embedded analytics engines to distributed OLAP clusters.

The data layer underneath everything else — storage and query engines you can run yourself, from a single embedded file to a distributed cluster.

Core projects

  • DuckDB — an in-process, embedded SQL database built for fast analytical queries, with no server to run.
  • ClickHouse — a distributed, column-oriented database built for real-time analytics at very large scale.
  • SQLite — an embedded, serverless SQL database built for everyday transactional reads and writes, not analytical aggregations.
  • PostgreSQL — a general-purpose, client-server relational database with mature concurrency control and a large extension ecosystem.
