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,[1] an open source contributor and creator who has contributed to the Open Source Initiative Vorarlberg[2] while at Lovely Systems in Dornbirn. The software is an open source, clustered database used for fast text search and analytics.[3]
The company, now called Crate.io, raised its first round of financing in April 2014.[4] In June that year, Crate.io won the judge's choice award at the GigaOm Structure Launchpad competition.[5] In October, Crate.io won the TechCrunch Disrupt Europe in London.[6]
Crate.io closed a $4M founding round in March 2016.[7] In December, CrateDB 1.0 was released having more than one million downloads.[8][9]
CrateDB 2.0, the first Enterprise Edition of CrateDB, was released in May 2017 [10][11][12] after a $2.5M round from Dawn Capital, Draper Esprit, Speedinvest, and Sunstone Capital.[13] In June 2021 Crate.io announced another $10M funding round.[14][15]
Since March 2023, Crate.io is led by Lars Färnström.[16]
