Introduction

Welcome to Skytable's documentation! Skytable is a free and open-source modern NoSQL database that builds on the foundations of performance, scalability, powerful querying and a robust type system. Skytable can be deployed on multiple platforms as just a single binary file with no special system dependencies. You can either follow the guide below to learn Skytable in depth or jump to any sections that you need for reference.
