Which databases do you already run? Comma-separated. The fifteen engines Minimal connects to — ClickHouse, Postgres, MySQL, MariaDB, Aurora MySQL, Percona, TimescaleDB, Vitess, TiDB, CockroachDB, Citus, YugabyteDB, SingleStore, StarRocks, RisingWave. Flat files (Files) are accepted when you apply as a student or an early team. See the full stack.

I have read the Terms of Service and the Privacy Policy, and I understand the grant takes no equity and no revenue share, that I will not build a product that competes with Littlebit Labs for seven years, and that I will share feedback on the product every quarter.
