Arize Database (adb) is an AI native datastore that unifies observability and evaluation data in open formats, enabling zero-copy access across your AI and data stack.
It’s cloud-backed with smart active caching, allowing teams to store and query years of data while paying up to 100x less than other platforms.
Generative AI is reshaping how data moves, scales, and performs — but databases haven’t kept up. These workloads create constant feedback loops and unpredictable bursts, where every prediction informs the next.
We built adb because no off-the-shelf option met the enterprise-scale needs of AI evaluation and iteration.
A durable foundation for the next era of AI and agent development.
The underlying architecture that supports the demands of AI workloads.
Built on open standards for zero-copy access from any tool, warehouse, or engine.
Adapts to unpredictable AI workloads to scale effortlessly without slowdown.
Ingests billions of events while staying instantly queryable to accelerate iteration.
Scales with your data and context while preserving speed and reliability over time.
Optimized for AI evaluation and iteration, delivering sub-second performance at massive scale.

Keep your data where it lives. Leverage Iceberg-backed open formats and compute-storage separation to access AI data nearly instantly, with zero exports or duplication.
Explore designMove seamlessly between hot and cold storage tiers, pulling only what you need into cache. With smart caching, Arize adb delivers elastic performance at a fraction of the cost.
Built for the scale and complexity of AI, adb supports OTEL ingest, real-time streaming, and freedom to query with any engine. Your data stays accessible and usable across the systems and teams that need it.
"In almost all analytical systems, you pick two out of three: high volume, correctness, and low latency. Getting all three at once is difficult, especially given varying column sizes in tracing agent workflows — but adb makes this possible and enables Arize to build products that would break other platforms."
