CrateDB is an Open Source distributed database that makes it simple to store and analyze massive amounts of data in near real-time. As a multi-model database for time series, documents and vectors, it combines the simplicity of SQL with the scalability of a distributed architecture.
There are two ways to get a CrateDB instance up and running quickly:
- Sign up for the CrateDB Cloud and choose our free plan
- Spin up the official Docker image:
docker run --publish 4200:4200 --publish 5432:5432 --env CRATE_HEAP_SIZE=1g crate '-Cdiscovery.type=single-node'
