Announcement: Genesis DB - the event-sourcing database engine - Is Going Cloud-Native: Meet the Managed Platform

Genesis DB just got a glow-up - and soon it’s not just smart, it will also be effortless to manage.

Managed with a Click

Building on features like preconditions, schema validation, GDPR support and blazing-fast HTTP/ndjson operations, Genesis DB will soon introduce a Managed Platform:

  • Instant Instance Lifecycle

    Spin up, shut down, or restart Genesis DB instances in seconds - no infra worries.

  • Live Performance Dashboard

    Monitor event usage, instance workload, throughput, schema counts, and more. All in one view.

  • Billing Transparency

    Pull up invoices directly in the dashboard without hunting through emails or sifting spreadsheets.

  • Backup & Restore Made Easy

    Download backups or instantiate new databases from previous snapshots with a few clicks.

  • Unlimited Self-Host License Included

    Every Managed Genesis DB subscription comes with an unlimited license key for self-hosting Genesis DB - valid for the entire duration of your managed subscription.

Why It Matters

  • Onboarding Supercharge

    Great for POCs, teams without Kubernetes - but still powerful for production use thanks to the Genesis DB Velora Cluster.

  • Observability at Your Fingertips

    See exactly what’s happening in your event store - no guessing.

  • Ops Without Ops

    Get all the event-sourcing tooling you’ve built, without managing servers.

  • Hybrid Freedom

    Use the managed instance for mission-critical workloads, and still self-host other environments without extra cost.

Use Cases - So Simple, So Powerful

  • Hackathons & Demos

    Instantly demo event sourcing without infra setup.

  • Prod-grade Deployments

    Full visibility and managed scaling, while keeping the schema-safe, precondition-powered engine you love.

  • Safe Experimentation

    Spin up dev/test instances, experiment, snapshot, teardown - repeat with no overhead.

  • Hybrid Architectures

    Combine the convenience of managed with the flexibility of self-hosted deployments.

This platform will let you focus on what matters: designing event-driven systems, not wrangling deployment scripts - while giving you the best of both worlds: managed simplicity and self-hosted freedom.
