Time to value

Quick Setup (< 1 hour)

You can use Databend to run complex SQL analytics, vector search, and full-text searches across large datasets in one place. Built in Rust and running on object storage like S3, it processes queries with low latency and provides fast provisioning without long cold starts. It handles columnar data models, geospatial calculations, and JSON filtering. Databend also lets you connect external AI pipelines for retrieval-augmented generation and run automated data transformations directly using standard SQL or supported programming languages.
