Same shelf
The rest of data, apis and backends, alphabetically. Sharing a category is a filing decision, not a relationship.
- Open-source retrieval infrastructure for question answering, with the pipeline exposed rather than hidden behind an endpoint.
- A relational database wearing a spreadsheet, with automations and an API on top.
- An open-source visual database with automation, positioned against the closed spreadsheet-database products.
- An open-source backend server bundling auth, databases, storage and functions behind one API.
- Schema migration and change review for databases, with the same approval flow across twenty engines.
- Open-source memory for agents, combining graph, vector and relational retrieval so recall survives the session.
- A distributed SQL database for time series and real-time analytics at volumes a single node cannot hold.
- Writes, explains and optimises SQL inside a database IDE rather than in a chat window.
