About Us

ThriftDB is a document-oriented datastore with search built-in. ThriftDB was built by three physics grad students who were tired of building custom search solutions for all of their software projects. If you would like to see an example of ThriftDB in action, checkout Hacker News Search and the Octopart electronic part search engine.
