RayforceDB: A Pure C Analytics Database with a Lisp-Like Syntax

RayforceDB – a pure C analytics database with a Lisp-like syntax

RayforceDB fuses columnar analytics, graph traversal, and recursive queries into a single embeddable execution pipeline. Written in pure C with zero dependencies, it offers vectorized filters, joins, groups, windows, pivots, time-series primitives, native graph algorithms, recursive Datalog, and flexible storage options. The Rayfall language provides a Lisp-like syntax for complex queries, and the engine is designed for microsecond-level latency. It's MIT-licensed, embeddable, and supports Linux and macOS.

Rayforce fuses columnar analytics, graph traversal, and recursive queries into one embeddable execution pipeline—built for teams that measure latency in microseconds, not meetings.
