CrateDB is typically used in operational analytics applications.

In those scenarios, CrateDB competitive advantages include:

• Easier to adopt and integrate than proprietary NoSQL DB interfaces - SQL!

• Query versatility - SQL joins, aggregations, special indexing for time series, text search, geospatial, user-defined functions for AI/ML

• Simple scaling and high availability - CrateDB automates partitioning, sharding, replication, indexing.

• Real-time performance - ingests and queries data in real-time via parallel processing, in-memory columnar indexes.

• Dynamic schemas - new columns and nested object (JSON) attributes are added to the schema automatically as they are inserted.

CrateDB is ideal for integrating and analyzing streams of data in order to monitor, predict and optimize the behavior of smart systems in real time.

Popular use cases include:

• IoT & Sensors: millions of IoT data points per second with CrateDB (Gantner Instruments)

• Time Series: perfect for monitoring how data changes over time and why and where (ALPLA)

• Geospatial Tracking: powerful geospatial indexing to build vehicle tracking and other GIS applications (Thomas Concrete Group)

• Cybersecurity: run real-time analytics on streams of network, IT event, and log data (Bitmovin)

CrateDB customers include Bitmovin, ALPLA, Gantner Instruments, SPGo!, TGW Logistics Group, Thomas Concrete Group, ABB, and more.
