TileDB Cloud is the commercial platform built by the TileDB team that allows you and your organization to unify all types of data, automate distributed analysis and pipelines, and securely explore and share data and code, while enjoying extreme interoperability with programming languages and data science tools.
TileDB Cloud takes a radically different approach than the current data management landscape. Instead of dealing with a large number of different data formats and special-purpose databases, TileDB Cloud builds a unified data management stack, storing all types of data in a single unified format, pushing access control, logging and a growing set of computational primitives to storage, and emphasizing on integrations with every popular programming language and computational tool. And it does all that providing a 100% serverless experience to the user.
TileDB Cloud is based on the TileDB Open Source universal storage engine, which models and efficiently stores all data as (dense or sparse) multi-dimensional arrays, providing a common API and a large number of APIs and tool integrations.
TileDB Cloud is ideal for you if you struggle with:
Data storage and access
inefficient files and domain-specific formats
wrangling data across tools and languages
controlling and monitoring access to data and code
sharing data and code at extreme scale
Mixed data and workloads
different data types (e.g., dataframes, images, genomics, etc)
combination of SQL, data science and Machine Learning
Scalability and deployment
scaling analysis easily and inexpensively
setting up and monitoring machine clusters
managing numerous disparate data solutions and silos
Finding and contributing public data and code
sharing files in cloud buckets and code in repos
easily and reproducibly running code on different data
monitoring usage stats
Monetizing data and code
having to build an entire infrastructure to sell data and code
TileDB Cloud (SaaS) currently works only on AWS. We are currently working on adding multi-cloud support, namely for Azure and Google Cloud. See TileDB Cloud Enterprise if you are interested in hosting TileDB Cloud in your own environment.
There is a variety of application domains our team has expertise on and you can use TileDB Cloud for:
Geospatial
point cloud (LiDAR, SONAR, AIS)
SAR
optical imaging
Genomics
population genomics
single-cell multi-omics
Dataframes
any tabular data, accessible with various APIs as well as SQL
Time series
any data that could benefit from indexing on date/time fields
Biomedical imaging
any imaging data requiring pyramid structures
Many others
video, automotive, telecommunications, etc.
Data and code management Manage all you data (modeled as multi-dimensional arrays) and code (UDFs and notebooks) in a single platform.
Access control and sharing Securely share your data and code with access policies.
Logging and auditing See all the activity on your data and code from detailed audit logs.
Organizations Create organizations and define different access policies for data and code.
Jupyter notebooks Create, share and spin up Jupyter notebooks directly in the platform with a few clicks.
Serverless SQL and UDFs You can run any SQL query on any array, without having to provision any clusters. You can also define and register any user-defined function, as well as share it with other, which can be run in a serverless manner (similar to lambdas).
Serverless task graphs Create any pipeline or any sophisticated distributed algorithm with TileDB's task graphs. TileDB executes the various tasks in the graph in parallel respecting the dependencies, without forcing the user to create or define any clusters.
Data and code marketplace Take advantage of TileDB's full-fledged marketplace (integrating with Stripe) and monetize your data and code based on egress or CPU time.
The best way to get started is to sign up and run the Start Here! tutorial. You can find a constantly growing number of tutorials in the TUTORIALS page group found in the left navigation menu of these docs.
If you'd like to take a deep dive into the TileDB Cloud internals, you can navigate to CONCEPTS in the left navigation menu. You can also always consult the HOW TO guides and API REFERENCE.
To make it easy to understand where to find what you are looking for, the documentation is structured in the following sections:
Tutorials A series of steps to address key problems and use cases
Concepts Background information and explanation of key topics and concepts
How To Short how-to guides based on FAQ
API Reference
Technical reference to the client APIs
TileDB Cloud is available as a customer-hosted instance to address enterprise security policies and governance mandates. Learn more about TileDB Cloud Enterprise.
