Products
Rockset is a cloud-based, real-time analytics database that is designed to enable queries on large, semi-structured data.[5] Rockset is serverless[6], and handles configuration management, cluster provisioning, denormalization, and shard/index management.[7] Ingested data is queryable after 1–2 seconds and analytical queries against that data typically execute in milliseconds.[8] Data is indexed three ways—column, row, and search—using converged indexing[9] at the time of ingestion.[10] The SQL query optimizer examines each query and selects an execution plan.[11]
Rockset uses RocksDB, an open source key-value store to store data.[12] RocksDB was created at Facebook by Rockset co-founder and CTO Dhruba Borthakur[13] in April 2012. RocksDB is used in production systems at various web-scale enterprises including Facebook, Yahoo!,[14] and LinkedIn.[15]
Rockset is SOC 2 Type II compliant and offers encryption at rest and in flight.[16]
Funding
Rockset is privately-held and has received three funding rounds totaling $61.5M.
