Your Data and AI Stack in One Engine
ETL-less SQL federation and hybrid search for
data-intensive applications
Deployed in Production
Ground Apps & AI Agents in Data
Query, search, and integrate AI where your databases, object storage, and warehouses already live.
Federate & Accelerate Data with Zero ETL
Connect to operational databases, data lakes, and warehouses across the enterprise. Use DuckDB and Apache Arrow acceleration to deliver sub-second performance.
Hybrid Search Across Data Estates
Run vector, keyword, and full-text search in the same SQL statement for more advanced retrieval pipelines.
Deploy Any LLM Model at the Query Engine Layer
Serve local and hosted LLMs from OpenAI, Anthropic, xAI, or NVIDIA NIM. Combine inference with acceleration and hybrid search to power latency-sensitive AI applications.
Built on Open-Source
The Operational Data Lakehouse
Spice is the only data lakehouse purpose-built for operational data use cases, not just analytics. Massively improve performance and eliminate the need for ETL pipelines, caches, and specialized databases - all in a portable 140MB runtime.
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
Hybrid SQL Search
Run vector, keyword, and full-text search in the same SQL query
Build retrieval pipelines that combine structured and unstructured data
Leverage open table formats (Iceberg, Delta, Hudi) and S3 Vectors without extra infrastructure
LLM Inference
Serve local or hosted LLM models (OpenAI, Anthropic, xAI, NVIDIA NIM)
Combine inference with search and retrieval for latency-sensitive apps
Integrate agentic RAG workflows with full observability and distributed tracing
Built by developers, for developers

“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.”
