XTDB

XTDB is a general purpose database with graph-oriented bitemporal indexes. Datalog, SQL & EQL queries are supported, and Java, HTTP & Clojure APIs are provided.

XTDB follows an unbundled architectural approach, which means that it is assembled from decoupled components through the use of an immutable log and document store at the core of its design. A range of storage options are available for embedded usage and cloud native scaling.

Bitemporal indexing of schemaless documents enables broad possibilities for creating layered extensions on top, such as to add additional transaction, query, and schema capabilities. In addition to SQL, XTDB supplies a Datalog query interface that can be used to express complex joins and recursive graph traversals.

Unbundled Architecture

XTDB embraces the transaction log as the central point of coordination when running as a distributed system. Use of a separate document store enables simple eviction of active and historical data to assist with technical compliance for information privacy regulations.

What do we have to gain from turning the database inside out? Simpler code, better scalability, better robustness, lower latency, and more flexibility for doing interesting things with data.

Unbundled Architecture Diagram

This design makes it feasible and desirable to embed XTDB nodes directly within your application processes, which reduces deployment complexity and eliminates round-trip overheads when running complex application queries.

Repo Layout

XTDB is split across multiple projects which are maintained within this repository. core contains the main functional components of XTDB along with interfaces for the pluggable storage components (Kafka, LMDB, RocksDB etc.). Implementations of these storage options are located in their own projects.

Project directories are published to Maven independently so that you can maintain granular dependencies on precisely the individual components needed for your application.
