Actian Zen more than 100x faster than SQLite

SQLite is ubiquitous in mobile and web apps as a simple data cache.  Unfortunately, SQLite lack luster performance limits its use in IoT and other Edge applications, in particular with high-speed or multi-channel data use cases.

With Actian Zen, developers and product managers get all the advantages of SQLite but in a powerful, secure, and scalable engine that can run serverless or as a client-server.  Actian Zen is orders of magnitude faster than SQLite.

This benchmark compared Actian Zen Core and SQLite, both running on a Raspberry Pi 3, an ARM-based mini-SBC (single board computer)

• Actian Zen Core outperformed SQLite for Indexed and Non-Indexed data management by:
  • more than 100x on inserts
  • up to 1,500x on deletes,
  • over 600x on updates
• Actian Zen Core was faster across the board particularly in write speed—the area where it tends to really matter in embedded Edge applications.
