Crate.io<\/a>, the winner<\/a> of our Disrupt Europe\u00a02014 Battlefield, is launching version 2.0 of its CrateDB database today. The tool, which is available in both an open source<\/a> and enterprise version<\/a>, started out as a general-purpose but highly scalable SQL database. Over time, though, the team found that many of its\u00a0customers were using the service for managing their machine data and, unsurprisingly, decided to focus its efforts on better supporting those clients.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe main message is that we hit the nail with the machine data focus that we now have for CrateDB,\u201d Crate co-founder and COO Christian Lutz told me, and added that it was basically the customers who educated the team on what they needed. \u201cWe took a look at what they were doing and the database market is so crowded \u2014 but we have this mix of SQL and NoSQL,\u201d Lutz said, \u201cand IoT is going to be the fastest growing market for databases.\u201d<\/p>\n

So with version 2.0, the team added a number of features that are specifically meant for these kinds of use cases. Thanks to its use of software containers, the overall Crate architecture can already scale automatically to meet demand, but with this new version, this clustering system offers improved performance and resiliency. CrateDB 2.0 also features a couple of improvements to its core SQL engine (aggregation on Joins, sub-selects, table renaming) and new index structures for faster range queries and geospatial queries \u2014 the kind of queries you\u2019re very likely to perform on IoT data.<\/p>\n

In the paid enterprise version, Crate now also features new authentication and authorization tools, as well as\u00a0an improved monitoring dashboard and support for user-defined functions in SQL and JavaScript. The company now charges enterprises $500 per cluster \u2014 but also offers a discount for startups, something the team tells me has worked out quite well because it makes it easier for smaller companies that currently use its open source database to switch to a paid and supported plan.<\/p>\n

In addition to updating its software, the team also recently launched a managed service business. Companies that want Crate to run their database infrastructure for them can now do so (for a price, of course). To support this service, the team has to run a 24\/7 operations team, which is hard to do with the 25 employees it currently has. Chances are then, we\u2019ll see Crate look for funding in the coming months to scale its team as customer demand increases.<\/p>\n
