StatelyDB

We're building a serverless cloud database for application developers. When you're building an application you shouldn't have to choose between speed of development and the ability to scale. We are cooking up a new way to think about application data that lets you change your mind as you iterate, without sacrificing operational sanity.

If you've wanted the scalability of DynamoDB but found the developer experience frustrating, we're building a better path.

Why it matters: DynamoDB offers incredible scalability and consistent performance, but optimizing for it is complex and time-consuming.

If you know all of your access patterns, you can design an optimal data model but most teams don't have that luxury.
Single-table design is a best practice for optimal DynamoDB usage but it can be confusing for newcomers.

The big picture: StatelyDB introduces an Elastic Schema for defining the shape of your data in a versioned way that can evolve over time as your needs change.

Define your data shapes in schema and generate type definitions for your preferred language.
Get automatic forward and backward compatibility across schema versions, eliminating migration headaches.
How it works: StatelyDB combines schema-driven development with NoSQL scalability.

We're using DynamoDB as our storage engine because of its strengths of infinite horizontal partitioning and consistent performance.
Our schema enables us to decouple the in-transit data format from the storage, allowing consumers to read and write data using different versions of schema without coordination.
