The Distributed Database for Docker

Scale data as elastic as your application.

Distributed SQL Queries

One to rule them all: sub-second queries on tabular data and semi-structured records. Including support for binary objects (BLOBs).

Adding nodes on commodity hardware or in the cloud is as simple as a single command in your terminal.

... as resilient, distributed persistence layer for containerized applications.
... if you process large amounts of time-series data, e.g. for IoT applications with read/write workloads.
... if you process semistructured/dynamic data, including geospatial data. Crate supports binary objects as well.
... operational datastore for web applications that require powerful fulltext search.
... realtime map-reduce style queries on a modern, post-hadoop architecture.
