What happens when a database stops sorting data?

by

Hey Product Hunt!

Almost every popular database today is doing something behind the scenes that wastes your server power and slows down your app: They are constantly sorting data on disk.

This made sense 10 years ago when hard drives were slow. But today? Modern NVMe SSDs are incredibly fast. Forcing them to sort data using old methods is literally like putting speed bumps on an F1 racing track.

So, we asked a very simple question: What happens if we just... stop sorting data?

Enter VeltrixDB.

We threw out the old rulebook. By completely bypassing disk-sorting and letting modern hardware do what it does best, the results blew our minds:

  • 1 Billion keys handled effortlessly.

  • 500µs P99 latency (Yes, microseconds. It is basically instant).

  • Drastically lower costs because we actually use 100% of the hardware you are already paying for.

No bloated cloud bills. No unnecessary bottlenecks. Just pure, unfiltered speed.

We built VeltrixDB for developers who are tired of overpaying for scaling issues. I am hanging out in the comments all day. I would love to know, what is the biggest database bottleneck costing your team right now? Let's chat!
