ZTeraDB Features

ZTeraDB is a unified database control plane. Below are the key capabilities for platform teams, developers, and security/compliance stakeholders.

Management Features

Operational capabilities for platform and ops teams to govern instances, schemas, and access.

Control Plane for Instances

  • Register and manage database instances (self-hosted or managed) from one control surface.
  • Group instances by environment (dev / qa / prod) and apply consistent policies.
  • Centralized visibility and operations without touching each vendor console.

Hybrid Instance Support

  • Connect self-managed Postgres, MySQL, MSSQL, Oracle and MariaDB instances.
  • Operate across hybrid clouds and on-prem environments with consistent controls.
  • Assign instance-level roles and rotate keys centrally.

Instance Groups & Environments

  • Organize instances into groups for tenant, team or environment scoping.
  • Apply group-level access policies and schema guards.
  • Simplify scaling and policy rollout across many instances.

Environment Management

  • Define environment-aware rules for dev, staging, and production.
  • Promote schema changes safely with validation gates.
  • Prevent environment drift by enforcing consistent config.

Schema Governance

  • Create, share and version schemas centrally across engines.
  • Schema validation and change previews before deploying to production.
  • Control schema access per-team or per-tenant.

Access & Role Management

  • Fine-grained RBAC with local/global scopes and environment awareness.
  • Grant read/write/delete/full access scoped to instances, schemas or data.
  • Audit and review role changes centrally.

Centralized Operations Dashboard

  • One-pane visibility of instances, schemas, keys and recent activity.
  • Quick actions for provisioning, key rotation and policy updates.
  • Operational logs and audit trails for compliance.

Developer Features

Developer-focused tools and APIs to integrate ZTeraDB into your workflows.

Schema Documents (Auto-generated)

  • Auto-generate human-readable schema docs on every change.
  • Share stable schema snapshots with downstream teams and CI.
  • Documentation can be exported or embedded in your internal portal.

ZTeraDB Drivers

  • Official drivers for Node.js, PHP and Python with a consistent API.
  • Transparent connection model supporting managed and self-hosted instances.
  • Libraries designed for predictable behavior across engines.

REST API for Automation

  • Full JSON-based REST API for schema, instance and access management.
  • Integrate ZTeraDB with CI/CD, provisioning scripts and admin tooling.
  • API-first design keeps automation simple and auditable.

ZQL — One Query Model

  • A JSON-based, engine-agnostic query model to unify reads/writes.
  • Avoid repeated SQL rewrites and reduce integration complexity.
  • ZQL is designed to map cleanly to each engine’s capabilities.

Deployment & Provisioning

  • APIs and UI for provisioning schemas, users and environment configs.
  • Integrate deployments into your existing pipelines for zero-touch rollout.
  • Rollback and promotion workflows for safe releases.

Built-in Validation

  • Field-level and type validation rules enforced before write to any engine.
  • Prevents common runtime errors and data inconsistencies.
  • Validation rules are portable between environments.

Security & Compliance

Security capabilities built for enterprise requirements and auditability.

Transport Layer Security (TLS)

  • TLS-encrypted connections between clients, ZTeraDB and database instances.
  • Prevents interception and eavesdropping on management traffic.

HTTPS & API Security

  • HTTPS enforced for dashboard and REST endpoints.
  • Token-based auth, API key scoping and short-lived credentials.

Authentication & Permissions

  • SAML / OIDC / SSO integrations for enterprise identity systems.
  • Fine-grained permission model with audit trails.

XSS & Injection Protections

  • Sanitization and output escaping in UI and APIs.
  • Query validation to reduce injection risks across engines.

SQL Injection Defenses

  • Parameterized ZQL layer and server-side checks to prevent injection.
  • Engine-specific safety wrappers where direct SQL is used.

Secure Password Storage

  • Strong hashing and secret management for user credentials.
  • Integration with vaults for production-grade secret rotation.
