Solution Overview

TimeBase is a high-performance time-series database, streaming and messaging system. It has over 15 years of product history and hundreds of clients, including industry-leading banks, brokers and hedge funds. TimeBase has connectors for major data vendors, e.g. Bloomberg, QuantHouse, Refinitiv as well as several exchanges. Users are also able to create their own data connectors and data structures.

TimeBase works equally well with historical and real-time data. It uniquely combines message distribution and persistence functions. Messages distributed from publishers to consumers can be automatically saved to the database for later replay or analysis.

TimeBase is built from the ground up to support time-series concepts. All data is automatically associated with a timestamp (with millisecond or microsecond precision).

TimeBase comes with a rich well-documented API, with identical support for Java and .NET. In particular, dynamic generation of code for binding language-native objects to data (without losing performance) is built-in.
