| 6 | +system, making it particularly well-suited for knowledge-intensive applications. Key features include full ACID compliance for transactional |
| 7 | +integrity with snapshot-level Isolation, a logical schema for modeling complex data, and a robust replication system using the Raft |
| 8 | +consensus algorithm for high availability. At its foundation, TypeDB is built on top of RocksDB as its storage engine, providing a robust |

| 11 | +Clients and applications connect to TypeDB primarily through language-specific drivers that communicate over gRPC for efficient, |
| 12 | +high-throughput operations. For broader compatibility, an HTTP endpoint is also available. TypeDB is offered as a fully managed service on |
| 13 | +TypeDB Cloud, providing flexible options for projects of any scale and as a free, open-source Community Edition (CE) for self-hosted |
| 14 | +deployments. |
