Tera is a high-performance distributed NoSQL database inspired by Google Bigtable, designed for real-time applications at internet scale. It scales to petabytes across thousands of commodity servers, with automatic sharding, MVCC, and C++/Java/Python/REST APIs.
Use cases
- store petabytes of sparse multidimensional data across a cluster
- low-latency real-time key-value and wide-column lookups
- build a web page database or linkbase for web indexing
- self-host a Bigtable/HBase-style NoSQL store on commodity servers
- handle throughput-oriented and latency-sensitive workloads with tiered RAMDISK/SSD/DISK storage
When to choose
- you need a Bigtable-compatible data model with automatic sharding and failover
- you want column-oriented storage with locality groups and snapshot support
- you operate a large Linux cluster and need linear scalability to thousands of nodes
When to avoid
- you need a managed cloud database or broad multi-platform support
- your workload is small enough for a single-node database like PostgreSQL or RocksDB
- you require a large active community or frequent releases
