Quickbase offers a unique and powerful database engine, which combines relational and graph structures to enable both transactions and analytics.
A database you can trust
Take control of user management, application governance, and data integrity through this easy to use and fully integrated platform.
You don’t need to be an expert to get expert results
Even without a full understanding of how the Quickbase database engine works, you can build your own custom apps. Hosting, performance testing, deployment, indexing, and field binding are all handled for you — allowing you to focus on what really matters.
Integrated in every way
This database is the foundation of our platform, and it is integrated into every aspect of Quickbase. Schema changes happen in real time, so updating a user’s role automatically applies everywhere — including in forms, reports, dashboards, email notifications, and automated workflows, with optional sandboxing to gate deployments for tier 1 apps.
Trusted by the Fortune 100
Quickbase's database engine serves a majority of the Fortune 100, and it has been battle-tested over the past 25 years. This database runs completely in-memory, enabling it to run extremely complex queries in the blink of an eye. Every month, we handle billions of requests, with a median response time under 20 milliseconds.
Simplified, flexible queries
Traditional database systems require complicated SQL statements, which restrict your innovation and are difficult to use. Quickbase streamlines queries with simple, declarative summaries that can be set up with just a few clicks.
I wear many hats and time is precious, so I really value the app building simplicity of Quickbase. It allows you to replace Excel with a robust, functional database without breaking the bank. And you don’t have to be a professional coder to quickly create the app a user might need.

Frequently asked questions
What type of database system is Quickbase built on?
The database engine at the core of Quickbase is a proprietary system we developed in-house.
What are my options for managing deployments in Quickbase?
Quickbase is built to support continuous improvement and business innovation, so schema changes are applied immediately. That means that there is no need to deploy any code. However, for business-critical applications, you can use our sandbox feature to implement and test schema changes before pushing them to your live app.
Where can I host my Quickbase apps?
For ease of use, we host all apps in the cloud, within the Quickbase platform. This saves you the time and headache of managing storage and compute on your own.
