Superfast edge database for Mobile and IoT.

What’s in the (Object)Box?

ObjectBox is a super fast object-oriented database, built uniquely for IoT and Mobile devices. We bring edge computing to small devices, allowing data to be stored and processed locally for efficient, fast and secure data management. ObjectBox is smaller than 1MB, so it is the ideal solution for Mobile Apps, small IoT Devices, and IoT Gateways. We are the first high-performance NoSQL, ACID-compliant on-device edge database. All of our products are built with developers in mind, so they are easy to use and take minimal code to implement.

Offline First

Develop applications that are independent from a network connection, so they work offline as well as online, providing an “always-on”-feeling.

Sync data seamlessly

Let ObjectBox solve syncing for you, without the high costs, risks, and headache. Our solution is out-of-the-box and ready to use.

Superfast

ObjectBox is consistently 10x faster than competitors. Check out our benchmarks.

Cross Platform

Linux, Windows, Mac/iOS, Android, Raspberry Pi, ARM, etc. Embedded or Containerized.

Tiny footprint

ObjectBox is smaller than 1MB, uniquely designed and optimized for small devices.

EASY TO USE

Our NoSQL database has easy to use APIs so code is short and maintainable.

Thanks for such a powerful database solution, I can’t imagine my life without ObjectBox now

MathTrainer – build with ObjectBox

Terrific job, ObjectBox is marvelous solution, it almost makes data persistence invisible. I was really astonished to see how the code shrunk before my eyes when I replaced realm. I am still amazed how simple all of it is.

@Crispert

Keep up the amazing work! As I found eventbus some time ago I was like: HOLY these guys know where the “problem” is and try to find a brilliant solution to it without making things complicated. Anyone can clearly see that this approach is reflected in ObjectBox again.
