RaptorDB Standard is the ServiceNow database that supports the ServiceNow AI Platform. It optimizes transactional performance, so your organization can support more users, workflows, and data on a single platform.  
RaptorDB Standard underpins ServiceNow AI Platform core services, applications, and data.  
Note:  
The roll-out of RaptorDB Standard is not tied to your organization's upgrade to Brazil. Contact your account team for more information.

RaptorDB Standard is built on PostgreSQL with ServiceNow optimizations for ServiceNow AI Platform workloads.

RaptorDB Professional adds analytical processing to the same transactional foundation. It introduces column-store indexing and parallel query processing, supports shared and replicated instance topologies, and is
required for Live Connect and Live Archive. The following table compares the two tiers.
