Building Blocks

Incrementally adopt building blocks for data access, acceleration, search, retrieval, and AI inference, then compose them together to develop apps and agents grounded in data.

SQL Query Federation

  • Join data across databases, data warehouses, data lakes, and APIs in a single SQL query

  • Connectors for 30+ modern and legacy sources from Databricks, to MySQL, and CSV files on FTP servers

  • Industry-standard protocols including ODBC, JDBC, ADBC, HTTP, and Apache Arrow Flight (gRPC)

Data Acceleration

  • Fast, low-latency, high-concurrency query, search, and AI retrieval

  • Materialize and accelerate data in-memory or using embedded databases including DuckDB or SQLite

  • Keep accelerations updated in real-time with Change-Data-Capture (CDC) using Debezium

Testimonials goes here.
"I explored AI, embeddings, search algorithms, and features with our own database. I read a lot about this, but it was so much easier to use Spice than doing it from scratch."
Taher Ahmed
Software Engineering Manager at NRC Health
"With a simple drop in container, we are able to double our data redundancy by using Spice."
David Blum
Principal Software Engineer at Twilio
"What I like the most about Spice, it's very easy to collect data from different data sources and I am able to chat with this data and do everything in one place."
Dustin Warner
Director of Software Engineering at NRC Health
"It just kinda spins up and it just works, which is really nice."
Darin Douglass
Principal Software Engineer at Barracuda
"Spice opened the door to take these critical control-plane datasets and move them next to our services in the runtime path."
Peter Janovsky
Software Architect at Twilio
"It's just a huge gain in responsiveness for the customer."
David Stancu
Senior Principal Software Engineer at Barracuda
"Initially, we thought it's such a departure from where they are, it's going to take them a long time. But in a few weeks, it's like magic. We had everything working exactly as we wanted, and it's amazing."
Sreeram Kannan
Founder and CEO of EigenLayer
"Nethermind is committed to advancing the Ethereum re-staking ecosystem. We're excited that our re-staking dashboard, an early contribution to the EigenLayer community, now thrives on data powered by Spice AI."
Eliot Stock
CPO of Nethermind
"Other solutions were prohibitively expensive - what we could do in Spice with a single query would have taken millions of API calls in other platforms."
Andrew Dworschak
CEO & Co-founder of Yakoa
“We are a team of crypto and fintech product experts, not cloud and developer infrastructure , so we needed to evaluate solutions based on their ease of implementation and time to market. We value solutions that deliver performance of transactions and pricing data without compromising the developer experience
and accuracy.”
Kareem Khattab
CEO and Founder of Entendre
“Spice AI makes it insanely easy for to leverage high quality, reliable datasets on our platform. This is critical for our developers to gain insight into how the APIs are being used so we can enable Web3 developers to build their first dApp in minutes.”
Anir Agarwal
Founder and CEO of Niftory
“XMTP is enabling web3 messaging between wallets. Spice enables us to leverage the rich Python ecosystem of data science and ML tools to build the best web3 data-driven experiences possible.”
