CedarDB is a super cool project, we're fans!

CedarDB focuses on being a high-performance HTAP database whereas Spice's was built from day 1 to enable high-peformance data and search for data-intensive applications and AI.

So Spice natively has data acceleration, federation, hybrid-search (vector + BM25 full-text-search), and LLM inference in the core runtime so you can zero-copy data across them, which you would not normally see in a database like CedarDB.

CedarDB is not free to use beyond a size limit.
