The Problem

Modern data infrastructure is needlessly complex. Organizations face compounding challenges that slow innovation and drain budgets.

Simplify Data Management

Current data solutions require teams to stitch together sprawling toolchains of databases, warehouses, ETL pipelines, and analytics engines. Each layer adds cost, latency, and operational risk.

Accelerate Project Timelines

Months of data engineering work stand between a product idea and a working prototype. Teams spend more time wrangling infrastructure than building the features their users need.

Scale Without Limits

Traditional architectures buckle under growing data volumes. Scaling means re-platforming, spiraling cloud bills, and performance compromises that limit what products can do.

Enhance Security and Reliability

Every additional component in a data stack introduces new attack surfaces and failure modes. Complexity is the enemy of both security and uptime.

The Solution

MinusOneDB replaces the entire traditional data stack with a single, unified platform. By moving storage and compute back together and making distributed search foundational rather than bolted-on, we deliver up to 1000x better query price-performance on tested workloads, sub-second response times for most query patterns, and up to 80% reduction in development time (as demonstrated with Qonsent). One system. One API. Radically simpler.

The Query Industrial Complex

Storage and compute live on opposite sides of the network, so every analysis pays rent on the wire. That isn’t an accident — per-query warehouses are priced that way on purpose. Cheap storage is the bait. Compute is the hook. The business model depends on you running as many queries as possible against data you already own.

This can’t continue. So we built something else.

A Technological Breakthrough

We've reimagined data infrastructure from first principles for the opposite optimization — instead of cheap storage, we focus on driving the lowest possible cost-per-query. The result is a new kind of parallel database that moves storage and compute back together, shifts workloads from expensive compute to efficient storage and moves distributed search from a fragile add-on to the foundational core of the data architecture, dramatically changing the economics of software development.

Up to 1000× better query price-performance on tested workloads

Dramatically simplified, powerful interaction with vast amounts of data changes the nature of the products that make financial sense to build.

Sub-second response times for most query patterns

Seamless, simple scaling enabled through a pioneering modular database architecture.

Up to 80% reduction in development time and cost

A data engineering automation and orchestration layer automates the vast majority of tedious data management tasks.
