Columnar. Cellular. Built for agents.

OliverDB is a fast columnar analytics database that ships as one small binary. Embed it in your application or run it as a service — same engine either way. Its cellular design scales from a tiny in-process instance to a coordinated cluster, and every query is scoped by the key that carries it, so it’s safe to hand to an untrusted agent.

What it gives you

A database that treats the agent as the user.

onboard

Built for agents

One request grounds an agent completely: its exact scope, the live schema, and runnable examples drawn from real data. Productive in a single round-trip.

govern

Scope travels with the key

Every key carries a policy. Before a query runs, it is rewritten to fit that scope — narrowed, not just rejected — so a least-privilege key is safe to hand to an untrusted agent.

embed

One small binary

The whole engine is a few megabytes. Run it in-process as a library or deploy it as a service — no cluster to stand up, no heavy runtime to operate.

scale

Cellular by design

The unit of scale is a cell. Add cells and the same query fans out and merges — no sharding project, no rebalancing, no hand-tuning.

speed

Fast where it counts

Vectorized, multi-threaded scans and pre-aggregated rollups return grouped answers in milliseconds — with standout single-core efficiency.

query

SQL, DSL, and full-text

Query in standard SQL or a compact JSON DSL — same execution, same security path. Text search (terms, phrases, fuzzy, regex) is built in, right next to your aggregates.

Part of the Oliver platform

The Engine is where the others begin.

Put a database behind your agents — not in their way.
