OmniSciDB is useful when you need really high-performance from a relational database. Think <100ms query times over billions of records. This level of performance is useful for streaming use cases, operations, repeated drilling into subsets of data, etc.. Note that OmniSciDB refers to the open-source relational database portion of our product.

Using any of the OmniSci open-source charting libraries is useful when you want to do something using only OmniSciDB (i.e. not wanting to purchase Enterprise Edition), or when you want to create a custom visualization that isn't provided by OmniSci Immerse (our commercial visualization tool). Some of the work referenced in the blog post was in partnership with the creators of the Vega.js library as research into high-frame rate and large data interactivity in browser visualization
