YDB
YDB is an open-source distributed SQL database for OLTP, OLAP and streaming workloads. It provides global ACID transactions, strong consistency, automatic sharding and rebalancing, and independent scaling for compute and storage. Columnar tables and a distributed vectorized query engine support analytics. YDB Topics supports Kafka API 3.4.0, exactly-once delivery and automatic partitioning. A native vector index handles approximate nearest-neighbor queries for semantic search, recommendations and retrieval-augmented generation pipelines. Deployments can run on premises, on virtual machines with Ansible, or in cloud environments with Kubernetes. Security includes internal and directory-based external users, plus user and group rights. Integrations listed include DBeaver, DataGrip, Grafana, Airflow, Spark, Kafka API, dbt, SQLAlchemy and LangChain. Open-Source costs nothing under Apache 2.0. Managed Serverless is also free, usage-billed with monthly free allowances.
