Welcome to Arc Cloud
Fully managed analytical database — no servers, no ops
Arc Cloud is a managed analytical database built on Arc, the open-source analytical database by Basekick Labs. Powered by DuckDB, Parquet, and Apache Arrow, it delivers high-performance analytics without the operational overhead.
Key Features
- Fully Managed: No servers to provision, no infrastructure to maintain
- DuckDB Engine: Full SQL support with sub-second analytical queries
- Columnar Storage: Data stored as Parquet files for maximum compression and query speed
- Apache Arrow: Fast in-memory processing with zero-copy reads
- HTTP API: Standard REST API for queries, ingestion, and management
- Dashboard: SQL console, log explorer, retention policies, and continuous queries at cloud.arc.basekick.net
- Instance Isolation: Each customer gets dedicated compute, storage, and network isolation via Kubernetes
- Automatic TLS: HTTPS endpoints provisioned automatically for every instance
Use Cases
- Product Analytics: User events, funnels, session analysis at scale
- Observability & Logging: Centralized logs, metrics, and traces
- AI Agent Memory: Persistent structured memory for LLM agents and workflows
- IoT Time-Series: Sensor telemetry, industrial monitoring, fleet tracking
