Data infrastructure that scales with ambition.
We started IDB because we were tired of forcing JSON documents into rows and columns. The mismatch between how applications represent data and how databases store it was costing teams weeks of schema migrations per quarter.
Today, over 46,000 customers trust IDB to run their most critical workloads. From early-stage startups to Fortune 500 enterprises — the platform scales to meet them wherever they are.
Principles we ship by.
Developer-first
Every decision starts with the developer experience. If it feels wrong to write, we rebuild it.
Radical transparency
Status pages, post-mortems, changelog — we publish the details others hide. Trust is earned through information.
Data integrity above all
Durability is non-negotiable. We never sacrifice correctness for throughput. Your data is exactly where you left it.
Relentlessly ship
We iterate in public. Every quarter ships meaningful improvements. The changelog is our product roadmap.
