What is HyperBase?
HyperBase is an open-source NoSQL database management system that is designed to handle large volumes of structured, semi-structured, and unstructured data across distributed systems. It is built to be highly scalable, performant, and resilient.
Some key features and capabilities of HyperBase include:
- A flexible non-relational data model that supports multiple data structures like key-value, wide column, document, and graph formats
- Automatic sharding to distribute data and queries across clusters of commodity servers
- In-memory caching and disk-based storage options for optimal performance
- Strong consistency and high availability through synchronous replication
- Support for SQL-like querying via HyperQL with many geo, text and analytic functions
- APIs for many programming languages like Java, Python, Go, Node.js and more
- Role-based access control for security
- Backups, monitoring, and enterprise management tools
HyperBase excels in use cases that demand extreme scalability for data ingest and queries while also requiring strong data consistency - things like IoT/time series data, web and mobile apps, meters and measurements, and network data analytics.
