About
Owl NoSQL is a serverless edge document store that automatically caches reads at the CDN edge, eliminating the need for separate Redis instances or connection pool management. It provides durable storage with sub-millisecond read speeds across 300+ edge locations, handling conflict-free writes and automatic index sharding without requiring schema migrations or cluster configuration. The platform also includes Owl Storage for object storage with built-in CDN and image optimization, offering a unified solution for data and files in Node.js, Next.js, Deno, and serverless applications.
Key Features
- Automatic edge caching for sub-10ms reads
- Zero configuration: no clusters, regions, or connection strings required
- Stateless HTTPS with MessagePack transport to support high concurrency
- Conflict-free writes using HTTP ETag headers
- Rollback capability to any past date or incident recovery
What Makes It Different
Unlike traditional serverless databases or caches that require provisioning clusters or managing connection limits, Owl NoSQL is fully zero-config and caches data at the edge by default, surviving cold starts without additional setup.
