CrateDB, a name that we will hear more in the future
What do you like best about the product?
For me, the fact that with CrateDB, we can use SQL while having the benefits of NoSQL and VectorDBs is the best. It is so easy to use, and with their built-in functions such as 'distance' or 'knn-match,' you can enjoy the process of data analysis. Considering that you can easily integrate different types of databases and data models is something that I have never seen before. To put it in a nutshell, RESPECT!
What do you dislike about the product?
We should be aware of how challenging the world of databases is, and I believe that CrateDB is just at the beginning of its journey. For me, one thing I didn't like was that it did not support using ORMs, and we had to write the queries completely as strings. So, I think if this feature, along with other features such as allowing developers to add their own add-ons and extensions, is added, CrateDB could become even better.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
For me, the problem that CrateDB will solve is that I can combine different types of data and have them all together in one database. So, I don't have to use multiple databases, and I can easily manage my data, analyze it, and use it for further steps such as Deep Learning and Machine Learning.
Another issue that CrateDB can resolve for me is its compatibility with Python, the language of AI, making it much easier to use. You don't have to switch between different languages and databases.
