TimeBase

Event-oriented high performance time-series database messaging middleware

About TimeBase

Deltix TimeBase is an institutional-grade financial time-series database designed to serve as the core market data infrastructure (or ticker-plant) for latency-sensitive trading and analytics systems.

Engineered specifically for capital markets workloads, TimeBase supports both real-time data streaming and historical tick data storage, enabling seamless capture, replay, and analysis of high-frequency event data within a single platform.

Its schema-driven data model natively represents complex financial structures—such as trades, quotes, and order book updates—while delivering deterministic timestamping with microsecond-level precision.

Optimized for ultra-low latency or high-throughput deployments, TimeBase underpins quantitative research, backtesting, live strategy execution, and real-time analytics, integrating cleanly into modern, event-driven trading architectures through a rich set of APIs.

Key Features

Mature Technology

TimeBase is a high-performance, time-series database, and messaging middleware with roots in capital markets. TimeBase leverages over 15 years of experience, hundreds of active clients, and a professional R&D team, including the original creators of Deltix Inc. Our battle-tested system offers.

Cost-Efficient Scaling

TimeBase was designed with low TCO in mind. That’s why it’s easy to master and operate, and isn’t demanding for storage or hardware. This minimal setup can consist of a single process and be scaled up to 10 nodes, making it capable of providing data consistency and load balancing.

Superior Performance

TimeBase is incredibly fast, providing explosive throughput (2 million events per core per second) and predictable latencies (100us) in both standalone and cluster mode. These speeds have been tried and tested in multiple production deployments.

Complete Ecosystem

Out-of-the-box connectors to various databases, message brokers, visualization tools, and monitoring tools (ClickHouse, Timescale, S3, Kafka, Grafana). You get access to tools like a serialization framework and data schema migrators on web, desktop, and CLI interfaces. C#/C++/Java/Python code

Designed for Analytics

TimeBase's design allows it to handle real-time, cache, and historical time series data with equally superior performance using the same code base, making TimeBase the best solution for real-time analytics and data science. It provides a seamless transition between historical and real-time

Multi-Language APIs

TimeBase provides API libraries that are natively implemented on the most popular backend languages: Java/C++/C#/Python/GO. Web APIs (REST/WS) are available as well. All you need is a few API calls in the language of your choice to get you up and running.

Intelligent Data Modeling

TimeBase is a schema-oriented database, where the principle of introspection allows using classes in the selected language as schemas. At the same time, you can take advantage of the system’s sophisticated data modeling capabilities, including Luminary IDL, complex messaging
