What RaimaDB is
RaimaDB is an embedded database for mission-critical applications, including edge, IoT, and real-time systems. It can run in memory or on disk without changing the database schema, and supports ACID transactions and rollback recovery. The product page says it can operate with 350K of RAM and minimal CPU speeds; automatic encoding and compression use 25% less disk space on average. Interfaces include C/C++, Python, Java JDBC 4.2, ODBC 3.9, and a RESTful API, with integrations for Visual Studio, Xcode, Eclipse, and Wind River Workbench. Security features include AES encryption with 128-, 192-, or 256-bit keys; its 16.1 administrative GUI supports SSL. RaimaDB supports replication to other Raima systems and to Oracle or Microsoft SQL Server through SymmetricDS. RaimaDB Cert is stated to be certified to ISO 26262 (ASIL D), DO-178C (DAL A), IEC 61508, IEC 62304, and EN 50716, and is presented for safety-critical automotive, aerospace, industrial, medical-device, and rail applications. It is paid, has a free trial, and pricing is available on request. Supported environments include desktop and mobile platforms, embedded operating systems, and a no-OS bare-bones configuration.
