What Picodata is good for
Picodata is a distributed SQL database. Wire-compatibility plugins reach the Redis and Cassandra audience too. The use cases below are where evaluators usually start.
-
TCO reduction
Dictionary and index compression cut server nodes 2–5× on comparable workloads.
-
Drop-in Redis replacement
Hot-data cache or persistent KV with the Radix plugin. Clients connect with no code changes.
-
Cassandra-compatible storage
CQL wire compatibility on a shard-per-core engine via the Sirin plugin. Time-series, IIoT, write-heavy workloads.
-
Migration playbook
From Redis or Cassandra to Picodata: pilot scope, data movement, and what to expect.
