The document database built for speed and durability
InceptionDB keeps your JSON in memory for lightning-fast reads and journals every write to disk for bulletproof durability. Provision a database in seconds — no servers, no configuration, no ops.
# 1. Insert documents (JSONL, one per line)
curl "https://inceptiondb.hola.cloud/v1/databases/your-database-id/collections/my-collection:insert" \
-H "Api-Key: your-api-key" \
-H "Api-Secret: your-api-secret" \
--data-binary '{"name":"Element 1","value":100}
{"name":"Element 2","value":200}
{"name":"Element 3","value":300}'
# 2. Query documents with a filter
curl "https://inceptiondb.hola.cloud/v1/databases/your-database-id/collections/my-collection:find" \
-H "Api-Key: your-api-key" \
-H "Api-Secret: your-api-secret" \
-d '{
"filter": {
"value": { "$gte": 200 }
}
}'
{"id":"document-id-2","name":"Element 2","value":200}
{"id":"document-id-3","name":"Element 3","value":300}Everything you need in a document database
Designed for performance and durability from day one — no compromise between speed and safety.
Blazing-fast ingestion
An in-memory engine with dual indexes delivers 200K+ inserts per second on a single node — without tuning.
Journal-based durability
Every write is journaled to disk before it is acknowledged, so your data survives crashes, restarts and power loss.
Point-in-time recovery
Replay the journal to any valid state. Roll back mistakes, audit changes and keep your data integrity intact.
Flexible indexing
Unique, sparse and multi-value indexes give you the right trade-off for every query pattern, at any scale.
Instant provisioning
Create a database in seconds. We run the servers, apply the updates and watch the metrics — you ship.
