TabbyDB is a high-performance, drop-in replacement for Apache Spark 4.1.3 that

fixes deep Catalyst optimizer defects causing complex queries to take hours to

compile — reducing them to minutes with zero changes to your existing code, APIs,

or infrastructure. On the TPC-DS 3TB benchmark, TabbyDB completes the full suite

16.6% faster than stock Spark, with 83 out of 103 queries running faster, and

delivers 50%+ runtime gains on Apache Iceberg tables. This 1-Click App deploys a

fully configured TabbyDB node with an interactive setup wizard on first SSH login —

simply copy your license.json to /opt/tabbydb/license/ and the wizard handles

node role, memory allocation, and optional DigitalOcean Spaces integration in

under five minutes. A 30-day free trial license is available at

kwikquery.com/download — no credit card required.

Software Included

Creating an App using the Control Panel

Click the Deploy to DigitalOcean button to create a Droplet based on this 1-Click App. If you aren’t logged in, this link will prompt you to log in with your DigitalOcean account.

Creating an App using the API

In addition to creating a Droplet from the tabbydb 1-Click App using the control panel, you can also use the DigitalOcean API. As an example, to create a 4GB tabbydb Droplet in the SFO2 region, you can use the following curl command. You need to either save your API access token to an environment variable or substitute it in the command below.

curl -X POST -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
         -H 'Authorization: Bearer '$TOKEN'' -d \
        '{"name":"choose_a_name","region":"sfo2","size":"s-2vcpu-4gb","image":"kwikquery-tabbydb"}' \
        "https://api.digitalocean.com/v2/droplets"

Getting Started After Deploying tabbydb

SSH into your Droplet to get started:

ssh root@your_droplet_public_ipv4

On first login, the TabbyDB setup wizard launches automatically and walks you

through configuration. Before running the wizard, copy your license file to

the Droplet:

scp license.json root@your_droplet_public_ipv4:/opt/tabbydb/license/

The wizard will guide you through:

• License path confirmation
• Node role selection: Master (first node) or Worker (additional nodes)
• Memory and core allocation (auto-detected from your Droplet)
• Network settings for multi-node clusters
• Optional: DigitalOcean Spaces for data storage

Once configured, access the Spark Master UI at:

http://your_droplet_public_ipv4:8080

To add Worker nodes, deploy additional Droplets from this same image, SSH in,

select Worker Node, and enter your Master’s IP address.
