What it is

LaminDB is Lamin's open-source, format-agnostic lakehouse and programmable memory layer for research and development. It tracks data, code and agent activity across notebooks, scripts and workflows, and provides schema-based records for LIMS and ELN use cases, including ontologies and notes. Users can validate and annotate datasets, then manage changes through branching and versioning data and code. Documented integrations include Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, Cursor, Git, Nextflow with Seqera, PyTorch Lightning, Weights & Biases, MLflow and Vitessce. Read/write storage includes local filesystems, AWS S3, S3-compatible services such as MinIO and Cloudflare R2, and Google Cloud Storage; HTTP/HTTPS and Hugging Face are read-only. Lamin provides web, API and self-hosted options. The Free plan is free for open assets and public database queries, with no hosted database listed. Pro is $20 a month billed annually. Team and Enterprise are each $200 a month billed annually per seat; Enterprise includes full on-prem deployment in the customer's AWS account. Lamin says it is SOC 2 certified and encrypts Lamin-managed deployments in transit and at rest. The maker was founded in 2022 and is headquartered in Munich and New York City.
