Capabilities that mondayDB provides

mondayDB provides a wealth of capabilities to help speed up your work and make using monday.com as smooth as possible. These include:

• Elasticity at scale: mondayDB supports your unique needs and adapts to how you work best as you continue to add users, data tables, and query volume, with the ability to store, retrieve, and query any type of data.
• Ability to perform complex queries quickly: With mondayDB, because the data from boards is stored in both row and column databases, it can choose which queries to perform based on the required manipulation, leading to high query throughput and low latency across any combination of tables.
• Real-time data updates: In any board or dashboard, changes are immediately available for queries whenever they are made, allowing automations and integrations to run in real time.
• Endless Customization: mondayDB takes monday.com’s open API to a whole new level — cross-system linking, filters, aggregations, and formula calculations are now supported. This allows developers to build any app, solution, or software they need on top of the monday.com platform.
