About Us

Hotdata brings together data from your databases, warehouses, lakes, and SaaS applications and makes it accessible through a single low-latency API. The platform optimizes compute, storage, and network layers based on data access patterns.

Hotdata is designed for agent-driven workloads and supports AI-native access patterns such as context management, subquery caching, and replayable history. It runs as a high-concurrency serving layer on top of existing data infrastructure, ingesting data on demand without requiring new pipelines.

The query engine is built in Rust on Apache DataFusion and Apache Arrow, and builds indexes to accelerate relational, analytical, document, time-series, geospatial, vector, full-text, and hybrid retrieval workloads within a unified environment.

The founding team has decades of experience building, optimizing, and operating data platforms at scale.
