Real-Time Analytics

Your data infrastructure,
without the batch lag.

PhoenixAI sits on top of your existing data stack and makes it real-time. Connect to your Kafka streams and lakehouse, and serve sub-second query results to dashboards, applications, and teams — on data that’s seconds old, not hours.

The problem

Batch pipelines were built for a different era.

With batch ETL today

Data that’s always hours behind

Dashboards reflect data from the last batch run, not now
Operational decisions made on stale information
Engineering time spent maintaining fragile ETL pipelines
Scaling requires expensive pre-aggregations and denormalization

With PhoenixAI

Live data, same SQL, same tools

Streaming data queryable in under one second of ingestion
Standard SQL — no new query language to learn or migrate
Works with Kafka, Flink, Spark — no rip-and-replace
Handles joins, aggregations, and upserts at sub-second latency

Capabilities

Everything your real-time stack needs.

Built for the workloads that break batch-oriented databases.

stream

Second-level data freshness

Ingest from Kafka, Flink, Spark, or Kinesis. Data is indexed and queryable within one second of arrival — with full support for appends, updates, and deletes.

bolt

Sub-second queries under load

Vectorized columnar execution and intelligent caching maintain stable p99 latency even under thousands of concurrent queries on billions of rows.

join_inner

On-the-fly JOINs

No denormalization required. PhoenixAI’s cost-based optimizer handles multi-table joins across large fact and dimension tables at sub-second latency.

table_chart

Intelligent materialized views

Define views for your most common query patterns. PhoenixAI auto-refreshes them as data arrives — delivering pre-computed results without manual pipeline maintenance.

storage

Lakehouse queries, no copy

Query Apache Iceberg and Delta Lake tables directly. Intelligent local caching brings data warehouse performance to your object storage — without moving data.

verified_user

Enterprise governance

SOC 2 certified. Row-level security, column masking, audit logging, and fine-grained access controls built into the database — not bolted on.

Works with your stack

PhoenixAI connects to the streaming, storage, and BI tools you already use. Most teams are in production within two to four weeks.

“After migrating to PhoenixAI, we reduced p90 latency by 50% using only 32% of our previous instance count. Data freshness dropped to 10 seconds. The team spent less time on operations and more time building.”

AI & ML Data Infrastructure

Your AI agents need data
that’s actually live.

Vector stores handle semantic search. PhoenixAI handles everything else — structured analytics, aggregations, filtering, and joins on data that updates in real time. The two work together. Neither replaces the other.

Agent workloads

The problem

AI agents are only as good as the data they can access.

What breaks without real-time data

Agents working with stale structured data

Agents query a data warehouse and get yesterday’s results
Feature stores lag behind live events by hours
Analytical queries over large tables time out or queue
High concurrency from multiple agents degrades performance

With PhoenixAI

Live structured data at agent speed

Sub-100ms SQL responses on data updated within the last second
Handles thousands of concurrent agent queries without degradation
Standard SQL — no custom API for agents to learn
Works alongside vector stores — each handles what it does best

Capabilities

The analytical layer your AI stack is missing.

What PhoenixAI provides that vector stores and data warehouses can’t.

smart_toy

Real-time data for agents

AI agents query PhoenixAI via standard SQL or REST. Responses are sub-100ms on live data — not batched results from the previous hour.

device_hub

Feature store acceleration

Serve ML features with second-level freshness. Aggregate raw event streams into feature vectors in real time without a separate feature computation pipeline.

manage_search

Hybrid retrieval for RAG

Combine structured analytical queries with your vector retrieval pipeline. Filter by recency, user segment, or business rules in SQL before passing context to your LLM.

group_work

High-concurrency agent workloads

Thousands of agents querying simultaneously. PhoenixAI maintains consistent latency under high concurrency — designed for the access patterns AI workloads create.

Fits your AI stack

PhoenixAI integrates with the streaming, orchestration, and model serving tools in modern AI infrastructure.

How AI teams use PhoenixAI today.

“We needed a database that could serve our AI pipelines with fresh data at millisecond latency — at the concurrency our agent workloads demanded. PhoenixAI was the only database that handled all three without trade-offs.”

Customer-Facing Analytics

Analytics your customers
actually experience as fast.

Building embedded analytics into your product means serving thousands of users, each with their own data, simultaneously. PhoenixAI is built for exactly this — multi-tenant, sub-second, at any scale.

Lower infra cost

vs. Druid

The problem

Serving analytics to users is a different problem than internal BI.

What breaks at scale

Latency and cost blow up as users grow

Dashboard load times degrade as concurrent users increase
Tenant data isolation requires complex workarounds
Pre-aggregation pipelines multiply as product features grow
Infrastructure cost scales faster than revenue

With PhoenixAI

Fast for every user, isolated by design

Sub-second dashboard loads at any concurrency level
Row-level security enforces tenant isolation at the database layer
No pre-aggregation pipelines — queries run live on current data
Predictable cost as user count and data volume scale

Capabilities

Built for products, not just analysts.

The features that matter when analytics is a core part of your product.

speed

Sub-second at any concurrency

Maintain consistent dashboard load times whether you have 100 or 100,000 concurrent users. PhoenixAI’s architecture doesn’t degrade under load.

domain

Native multi-tenant isolation

Row-level security enforces tenant data boundaries at query execution time. No application-layer workarounds, no risk of cross-tenant data leakage.

update

Live data in product dashboards

Your customers see data that’s seconds old, not hours. Event streams feed directly into the query layer — no ETL delay between action and insight.

api

API-first integration

Standard JDBC/ODBC, REST API, and MySQL-compatible wire protocol. Integrate PhoenixAI into your application stack without changing your query patterns.

Data Lakehouse

Query your lakehouse
without copying the data.

Apache Iceberg and Delta Lake made the lakehouse possible. PhoenixAI makes it fast. Query your lakehouse tables at sub-second latency — no ETL, no data movement, no separate warehouse to maintain.

vs. loading to DW

The problem

The lakehouse is great for storage. Not always fast for queries.

The lakehouse query problem

Slow interactive queries force data movement

Complex analytical queries on Iceberg take minutes, not seconds
Teams copy data into a warehouse just to get interactive performance
Two copies of data: one in the lake, one in the warehouse
Sync pipelines between lake and warehouse break and drift

With PhoenixAI

Data warehouse speed. Data lake economics.

Sub-second queries directly on Iceberg and Delta Lake tables
Intelligent local SSD cache — no copy needed, warehouse-like speed
One source of truth — no sync pipeline, no data drift
Live and historical data in the same query

Capabilities

The query layer your lakehouse needs.

What PhoenixAI adds to an Iceberg or Delta Lake architecture.

table_view

Native Iceberg & Delta Lake

Query Iceberg, Delta Lake, and Hudi tables directly from S3, GCS, or ADLS. Full read and write support. No connectors, no Spark job, no ETL.

cached

Intelligent local cache

Hot data is automatically promoted to local SSD. Repeated queries hit cache instead of object storage — delivering sub-second latency at data lake cost.

merge_type

Unified live + historical queries

Join real-time streaming data with historical lakehouse tables in a single SQL query. No federation overhead, no separate query engine for each layer.

schema

Catalog integration

Works with AWS Glue, Hive Metastore, and Unity Catalog. Use your existing table definitions — no schema migration, no re-registration.

Works with your lakehouse

PhoenixAI integrates with open table formats, object storage, catalogs, and the processing engines that feed your lakehouse.
