For hard real-time systems
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.
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.

Platform Independent Run-time
For embedded systems software, the ability to support multiple hardware, operating systems, languages and tools (collectively, “platforms”) is essential. eXtremeDB runs predictably on dozens of hardware architectures and operating systems and is a trusted database system for any embedded platform.

The Essential Database Development Tool for Embedded Systems
To develop a reliable embedded system, a number of tools are required and a number of techniques are necessary. eXtremeDB is a database development tool that is ideally suited for systems that are safety-critical or have stringent constraints. The type-safe native C API, comprehensive target-side debugging capabilities, host-side diagnostic tools, optimized data layouts, integrated small footprint embedded web-server, and dozens of supported toolchains all ensure maximum flexibility for developers and minimize time-to-market.

Originally designed as an in-memory database system.
Learn why this matters.
Embedded & Real-time Systems
The eXtremeDB in-memory database system was designed specifically for use in resource-constrained, mission-critical and safety-critical embedded systems.
High Performance Computing
eXtremeDB in-database analytics offers breakthrough efficiency and can be used with the product’s in-memory database system (IMDS) capability, or independent of it.
Hybrid In-memory and/or Persistent
Combine both database paradigms – in-memory and on-disk – in a single database instance. Specifying one set of data as transient (managed in memory), while choosing persistent storage for other record types, requires a simple database schema declaration.
