Absolute DB replaces five separate tools - relational DB, vector store, full-text engine, graph database, and streaming layer - with a single ~8 MB binary. No integration tax. No operational sprawl.
Enterprises are running 8–12 separate data tools on average. Every tool adds integration cost, latency, and operational risk. Absolute DB collapses the stack.
From a Raspberry Pi Zero to a 65,536-node planetary cluster - the same binary, same API, same guarantees.
Faster, smaller, safer than SQLite. Full ACID on a microcontroller. WASM target for browser and Cloudflare Workers. ~8 MB stripped binary.
PostgreSQL wire-compatible - connect psql, DBeaver, Prisma, Django ORM, Rails, Sequelize without a single driver change. Zero-config launch.
Full ACID, high availability, SSO/JWT, role and attribute-based access control - without the Oracle licensing bill. Point-in-time recovery, online schema changes.
PAX columnar storage, AVX-512 SIMD kernels, parallel query with work-stealing scheduler. Parquet + Arrow IPC export. No Snowflake tax.
First-class HNSW vector index, RAG pipeline, agent memory store, BM25 + vector hybrid search, auto-embedding on INSERT, ColBERT multi-vector.
GDPR, HIPAA, PCI-DSS v4, SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001:2022 - fully automated. Post-quantum cryptography (FIPS 203/204/205) natively. Zero OpenSSL.
Absolute DB is not a niche database that does one thing well.- D.H.Maree, Founder & Architect, Absolute DB
It is the best database in every class simultaneously -
delivered as a single, auditable, dependency-free binary.
Replacing five tools with one eliminates entire categories of operational risk.

Multi-region active-active with CRDT conflict resolution, sovereign data residency controls, edge-native federation for sub-10 ms latency globally. Enterprise SaaS launch with dedicated SLA engineering.
Only libc, libm, libpthread, libdl. No OpenSSL, libcurl, protobuf-c, or any third-party library. Every algorithm is implemented in pure C11.
A single build command produces everything. 2,397 tests must pass. Every commit is production-ready.
ASan, UBSan, and TSan gates on every merge. Bounds-checked memory references and arena allocation on every security-critical path. Zero unchecked allocations.
Every API function listed in documentation is fully implemented. No stubs, no placeholders, no aspirational claims.
Industry-standard, patent-free algorithms throughout. All cryptography is FIPS 203/204/205 or RFC-defined. Zero IP risk for enterprise deployments.
Documentation is generated and audited from the codebase. If it is documented, it is implemented and tested. No aspirational marketing language masquerading as features.
Start free with Community Edition. No credit card, no usage limits for 10 GB. Full SQL + vector + graph + FTS in one download.
Absolute DB is production-ready software shipped as a single ~8 MB binary with zero external dependencies. The codebase carries 2,397 automated tests across 17 suites - all passing, with zero warnings, zero memory errors, and zero undefined-behaviour violations. SQL:2023 conformance is 100% (150/150). The product is available for download today and is actively used in commercial deployments.
We prefer to discuss terms directly with qualified investors rather than publish figures publicly. Full materials - including a detailed investor pack, financial model, and technical briefing - are available under NDA. Please contact marketing@absolutedb.com to begin the conversation.
Four compounding advantages: five years of architecture decisions that cannot be shortcut; a 2,397-test suite encoding hard-won correctness edge cases across distributed consensus, cryptography, and storage - not reproducible by rewriting in a weekend; a post-quantum cryptography capability that arrives before most enterprises have even started evaluating it; and a binary-size discipline (the entire database in ~8 MB) that cannot be purchased from a large vendor with legacy surface area to protect.
The same way they adopted MongoDB, Elasticsearch, and HashiCorp Vault - developers first. Engineers choose Absolute DB for a new service because it is free, ships as a single file, and speaks PostgreSQL wire protocol, so existing tooling just works. When that service hits production and delivers measurable results, the conversation moves upward. Bottom-up developer adoption has proven to be the most durable enterprise go-to-market in infrastructure software for the past fifteen years.
Yes. Production-readiness at Absolute DB is defined by evidence, not assertion: 2,397 tests across 17 suites all pass; AddressSanitizer, UndefinedBehaviorSanitizer, and ThreadSanitizer report zero violations; SQL:2023 conformance is 100%; all post-quantum cryptography passes FIPS 140-3 Known Answer Tests; and the release binary is built with -Wall -Wextra -Wpedantic -Werror with zero warnings. The binary ships with zero external library dependencies.
A freemium four-tier model: Community (free, up to 10 GB), SME (free, up to 5 GB with additional protocol support), Professional ($49/month, unlimited data, compliance features), and Enterprise ($499/month, full distributed clustering, zero-trust networking, and up to 16 million virtual connections). Beyond licences, additional revenue streams include managed cloud hosting, OEM licensing for embedded and appliance use, and compliance-as-a-service engagements for regulated industries.
