Kinetica, the database for time & space, has announced a free version of Kinetica Cloud where anyone can sign-up instantly without a credit card to experience Kinetica’s generative AI capabilities to analyze real-time data. No other analytic database offers this pricing model with free storage and compute, and no expiration date.

Unlike other offerings that expire after a trial period, provide limited functionality or require that the customer pay for infrastructure and storage, Kinetica Cloud is totally free forever for up to 10GB of data with full Kinetica database functionality, including Kinetica’s SQL-GPT, using Generative AI to turn language into SQL that executes quickly. Additionally, developers will be able to upgrade to Kinetica Cloud for Dedicated Workloads with support for production deployments, including dedicated compute resources and Kinetica Standard Support.

Kinetica Cloud Free Forever includes:

● Store and analyze up to 10GB of data with full Kinetica database functionality
● Kinetica SQL-GPT functionality, using Generative AI to turn language into SQL that executes quickly
● Unlimited SQL queries and API access
● Unlimited SQL workbooks
● Kinetica Community support

Kinetica Cloud Free Forever complements existing Kinetica deployment options, including Developer Edition, deploying Kinetica through the AWS and Azure Marketplaces as a managed service, or deploying Kinetica software-only in a customer’s own cloud environment.

Additionally, the Kinetica Cloud for Dedicated Workloads option removes the data limits, giving customers more flexibility to choose from different clusters for “hot data sizes” depending on the size of their data and complexity of the queries issued. This option also features dedicated clusters and compute resources, ensuring customers consistent performance based on the size of the cluster they choose. Kinetica Standard support is also included.
