Can modern databases scale scientific analyses beyond RAM?
During my PhD, I explored whether matrix, spatial, and genomic operations could share a database execution layer without changing the APIs scientists rely on.
Today, I’m excited to finally share dbverse, a composable database framework built around that idea.
Across benchmarks, dbverse delivers up to 1,000× speedups and scales end-to-end spatial omics analyses to millions of cells on a 16 GB M4 Mac mini.
