Database for Embedded Systems

Small, reliable, fast and flexible.

eXtremeDB’s small footprint and frugal use of memory and CPU uniquely qualify it to fuel database management for safety-critical resource-constrained embedded and real-time applications.

Features to Look for When Speed Matters

eXtremeDB was optimized from the beginning to maximize speed, flexibility and reliability for professional developers. eXtremeDB offers the following features, and many others, to maximize performance.

Hybrid data storage built on an IMDS, eXtremeDB databases can be all-in-memory, all-persistent, or have a mix of in-memory tables and persistent tables with a simple database schema declaration.

Multiple index types to support different use cases: B-tree, hash, R-tree, KD-tree, Patricia trie, Trigram.

Hybrid row- and column-based layouts for the best performance of OLTP and time series workloads.

Platform independent database for embedded systems

Designed for Resource-constrained Embedded Systems

Hardware platforms for embedded systems — industrial controllers, airborne systems, medical equipment, and other life-critical devices — are often limited in both memory and processor cycles, but still must respond in a reliable and timely manner. The highly configurable and robust eXtremeDB kernel is designed to run with or without an operating system and to include only required features in a small-footprint, performance-optimized run-time.

A Reliable Database System Built with Safety in Mind

Designed for use in resource-constrained, mission-critical and safety-critical embedded systems, eXtremeDB has earned its pedigree through a unique combination of features that are not found in any other database system. The eXtremeDB kernel makes no dynamic allocations of any kind, so it’s guaranteed not to exhaust memory, uses proprietary, optimized purpose-specific memory managers and has no dependencies on the C run-time or any third-party modules.
