CrateDB is a distributed SQL database management system that integrates a fully searchable document-oriented data store. It is open-source, written in Java, based on a shared-nothing architecture, and designed for high scalability. CrateDB includes components from Trino, Lucene, Elasticsearch and Netty.
History
The CrateDB project was started by Christian Lutz, Bernd Dorn, and Jodok Batlogg[3] in Dornbirn, Austria as an open source, clustered database purposely built for fast text search and analytics.[4]
The company, now called Crate.io, raised its first round of financing in April 2014.[5] In June that year, CrateDB won the judge's choice award at the GigaOm Structure Launchpad competition.[6] In October, CrateDB won the TechCrunch Disrupt Europe in London.[7]
Crate.io closed a $4M founding round in March 2016.[8] In December 2016, CrateDB 1.0 was released having more than one million downloads.[9][10]
CrateDB 2.0, the first Enterprise Edition of CrateDB, was released in May 2017 [11][12][13] after a $2.5M round from Dawn Capital, Draper Esprit, Speedinvest, and Sunstone Capital.[14] In June 2021 Crate.io announced another $10M funding round.[15][16]
