GlareDB is a lightweight, fast SQL database engine built in Rust for running analytics queries directly against files and object storage like Parquet, CSV, S3, GCS, and Iceberg tables. It ships as an installable CLI, embeddable Rust crates, and a Python client.

Use cases

• query parquet files with sql
• run analytics on csv files locally
• query data in s3 buckets with sql
• embed a sql analytics engine in a rust application
• analyze iceberg tables without a warehouse
• quick ad-hoc sql over cloud object storage

When to choose

• you need fast ad-hoc SQL analytics over files in S3, GCS, or local disk
• you want a lightweight embedded OLAP engine without running a server cluster
• you query Parquet, CSV, or Iceberg data directly
• you want to embed an analytics database inside a Rust program

When to avoid

• you need a full transactional OLTP database with concurrent writes
• you require long-running multi-user production data warehousing with mature ecosystem support
• you depend on a stable, documented embedding API today
