Building the Future of Database
Incubated within Strongly.AI, Thermocline was born from the real pain of managing too many databases to power modern AI applications.
Our Story
In 2024, the team at Strongly.AI was building AI applications at scale and hit the same wall every team hits: documents in MongoDB, vectors in Milvus, cache in Redis, archives in S3. Four systems to sync. Four bills to manage. Four points of failure. The MongoDB spend alone was unsustainable.
Incubated within Strongly.AI, Thermocline was born from a simple idea: what if one database could handle it all? Reduce MongoDB costs by intelligently tiering data between hot and cold storage, eliminate the need for a separate vector database, and consolidate the entire data stack into a single engine. Not by being mediocre at everything, but by being intelligent about where data lives and how it moves.
Thermocline Cloud is the fully managed service built on top of the open-source Thermocline engine. It gives teams all the power of intelligent data tiering, native vector search, and time travel queries without the operational overhead of running distributed infrastructure. Deploy in minutes, scale without thinking, and let the platform handle replication, backups, and upgrades so your team can focus on building.
Our Values
Build in the Open
We believe in transparency. Our code, roadmap, and decisions are public.
Developer First
Every feature starts with developer experience. If it's not easy to use, it's not done.
Relentless Simplicity
Complexity is the enemy. We reduce infrastructure complexity, not add to it.
Community Driven
Our best features come from our users. We listen, iterate, and ship fast.
