Review on qikkDB | GPU accelerated columnar database by Ken Hamdan

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Great open source Database/Analytic software

I like that it's easy to setup, use and learn with. It can handle large amounts of data in an efficient way without crashing or slowing down. The UI is very clean and simple which makes learning how to work with this tool less daunting than other tools out there. There are some known issues but they've been quickly addressed by their team. This was originally designed for scientific research purposes so not much has changed since then however now we're using more analytics-driven queries our needs have expanded into being able to query larger datasets as well as store much bigger volumes of data. We were previously storing millions of rows per day (around 1TB) but after updating from 4GB RAM servers to 32 GBs we found ourselves running low when querying certain tables at times due to memory constraints. QikKDb allowed us to scale up storage capacity while keeping costs under control through its ability to.

Pros
  • It's very efficient and easy to learn
Cons
  • It's easy to use but there's not much to it
