TileDB

TileDB, Inc. builds a multimodal database around a single universal data model — the multi-dimensional array — that stores tables, genomics (VCF), single-cell (SOMA), biomedical imaging, vector embeddings, point clouds, files and ML models in one cloud-native format on S3, Azure Blob, GCS, Lustre or MinIO. The open-source TileDB Embedded storage engine is paired with TileDB Cloud (and the Carrara product line), a hosted and self-hostable platform for cataloging, sharing, governing and querying those assets, with serverless SQL, user-defined functions, task graphs, Jupyter notebooks and dashboards. The platform is programmable through the TileDB Storage Platform REST API (v1 and v2, whose Swagger 2.0 contracts TileDB publishes openly on GitHub), plus first-party clients for Python, R, Java, Go, C, C++, C#, JavaScript and Rust. The company is focused on life sciences and precision medicine.

TileDB publishes 2 APIs on the APIs.io network: Storage Platform API (v1) and Storage Platform API (v2). Tagged areas include Company, Database, Multimodal Data, Life Sciences, and Genomics.

TileDB’s developer surface includes authentication, documentation, API reference, getting-started guide, support, engineering blog, pricing, and 22 more developer resources.

Regulatory Posture applies to this provider. Its tags matched the Health regime, so Regulatory Posture carries 15 points of the composite. If this regime is wrong for your business, say so on your provider repo — the applicability map is public and we will correct it.

The six quality facets above are damped to 85 points between them, because the conditional facet above carries the other 15. That is why each facet's contribution is shown against a damped maximum: raising a quality facet moves the composite by 85% of its nominal weight, not 100%. The full arithmetic is at apis.io/rating/.

Improve this rating by publishing the missing artifacts — every area above can be raised, and the full rubric is at apis.io/rating/. This rating is computed from github.com/api-evangelist/tiledb: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts. Want it done for you? Prioritized profiling — $2,500 →

  description: The primary TileDB Cloud REST API. 168 operations across arrays, groups, assets, files, notebooks, UDFs, task
    graphs, SQL, queries, users, organizations, invitations, favorites and tokens. Published by TileDB as a Swagger 2.0 contract

    negotiate between application/json and application/capnp (Cap'n Proto) for the high-throughput query paths.
