Scalable.

BossDB leverages AWS technologies to scale in response to your data-access needs. Pay only for the resources you need, and scale quickly to accomodate surges in request counts.

BossDB acts as a layer on top of technologies like DynamoDB for indexing, Redis as a high-level cache, and S3 for scalable, speedy storage.

Buzzwords!

Big data. Cloud-native. Infinitely scalable. Load-balanced. Future-proof. Distributed.
If you think your dataset is too big for BossDB, let us amaze and surprise you!

Cloud-Native.

There is no application to install or server to configure: Like a beautiful rainbow, BossDB lives completely in the cloud.

You can access BossDB resources with intern, a Python 2 and 3 library. Full API documentation is available here.
BossDB cloud storage is supported by Amazon Web Services (AWS) through the Open Data Program.
