What if every change could be undone?

Databases today overwrite your history. It's like writing in permanent marker on your only copy. One wrong query, one bad migration — and yesterday's data is gone forever.

Traditional Databases

Every write overwrites. History is destroyed. Recovering last Tuesday's data means praying your backups worked.

KineDB

Every change writes a new layer. Like a fresh sheet of paper on top of the stack. Peel back to any moment — nothing is ever lost.

Peel Back the Layers

Every document carries its full history. Scroll through time the way you flip through a stack of paper — each layer a snapshot of a moment.

Branch creation time
Branching is instant. Not "fast" — truly instant. Copy-on-write means zero overhead, zero wait.

Built Layer by Layer

No plugins, no sidecars, no "you'll also need..." — every feature is baked in from the start.

Version History

Full audit trail on every document. Travel back to any point in time with a single query. Compliance built in, not bolted on.

Real-time Streams

Subscribe to changes as they happen. Build reactive dashboards, live feeds, and event-driven systems without a separate message broker.

Work Queues

Built-in job queues with guaranteed delivery. Process background tasks, schedule work, retry failures — no Redis or RabbitMQ required.

Clustering

Add nodes and they find each other automatically via gossip protocol. No leader election, no coordination headaches. It just works.

Document Security

Per-document access control with role-based permissions. Not table-level — document-level. Every record has its own lock.

SQL-like Queries

A familiar query language your team already knows. No steep learning curves, no obscure syntax. Write queries on day one.

One Page Tells the Whole Story

No dependencies. No configuration files. No Docker compose with twelve services. Just one binary that does everything.

Download. Run. Done.

KineDB ships as a single file. Drop it on any server, any cloud, any laptop. It starts in under a second with sane defaults that just work. Your ops team will send you a thank-you note.
