Blazing-Fast Reads. Still Snappy on Writes.

Genesis DB is built for speed. Instant reads of events, event-store optimized writes. You won't wait around.

HTTP All the Way Down.

Stream, Observe, Commit, Query - all through a clean HTTP interface. No exotic but simple SDKs if you want. Just JSON (ndjson).

Backup? One Command. Recovery? Even Easier.

Snapshots made stupidly simple. Restore entire event histories or read models with zero sweat.

Audit-Ready by Design.

Every event is traceable. Every state is reproducible. Genesis guarantees your system's integrity. Provably.

CloudEvents Native. Because Standards Matter.

Emit, receive, and replay with full CloudEvents compatibility. No vendor lock-in with Genesis DB.

Logs like a Philosopher. Metrics like a Pro.

Detailed logs and Prometheus-ready metrics give you full operational insight. No black boxes.
