HeliosDB - The Universal Database Platform

HeliosDB - The Universal Database Platform

One Database. Every Protocol. Infinite Possibilities.

HeliosDB is the world’s first universal database platform that speaks PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB, Oracle, Redis, Cassandra, ClickHouse, and Arrow Flight - all accessing the same data. Build once, deploy anywhere, scale infinitely.

Why HeliosDB?

The Problem

Modern applications are drowning in database complexity:

• 7.2 databases per enterprise application (average)
• $2.1M/year spent on database sprawl
• 68% of teams struggle with data synchronization
• 40% of infrastructure is over-provisioned

The Solution

HeliosDB eliminates database sprawl by providing:

One Database → Multiple Protocols → Same Data
     ↓              ↓                 ↓
  HeliosDB    PostgreSQL, MySQL,   ACID-compliant
              MongoDB, Redis...    single source

Key Features

Multi-Protocol Access

Connect with any client, any language, any framework:

# PostgreSQL client
psql -h helios.example.com -p 5432 -d myapp

# MySQL client
mysql -h helios.example.com -P 3306 -u user myapp

# MongoDB client
mongosh "mongodb://helios.example.com:27017/myapp"

# Redis client
redis-cli -h helios.example.com -p 6379

# All accessing the SAME underlying data!

Instant Database Branching

Create isolated database copies in 555 microseconds:

-- Create a branch for feature development
SELECT helios_create_branch('feature/user-auth', 'main');
-- Done in 555μs - full copy of production data

-- Work safely in isolation
INSERT INTO users (email) VALUES ('test@example.com');

-- Merge when ready
SELECT helios_merge_branch('feature/user-auth', 'main');

Native AI/RAG Support

Built-in vector search and AI capabilities:

-- Create embeddings automatically
CREATE TABLE documents (
    id UUID PRIMARY KEY,
    content TEXT,
    embedding VECTOR(1536) GENERATED ALWAYS AS (
        helios_embed('openai/text-embedding-3-large', content)
    ) STORED
);

-- Semantic search in <12ms
SELECT * FROM documents
ORDER BY embedding <-> helios_embed('openai/text-embedding-3-large', 'user query')
LIMIT 10;

True Serverless

Scale to zero, wake in 170ms:

helios.yaml

name: my-app
tier: serverless

scaling:
  min_instances: 0      # True scale-to-zero
  max_instances: 100
  cold_start: 170ms     # Industry-leading

billing:
  model: per-query      # Pay only for what you use
