Countly 26.01: The Future of Analytics is Faster, Smarter, and Ready for AI

Artificial intelligence is changing how every team, from startups to global brands, builds, learns, and competes. But AI is only as powerful as the data it’s built on. That’s why we’ve rebuilt Countly from the ground up, to make data faster, smarter, and truly AI-ready.With Countly 26.01, we’re introducing our next-generation data engine:

• Up to 100× faster performance,
• Lower total cost of ownership, and
• Scalability beyond 100 billion data points: all on a foundation of privacy, structure, and trust.

This release marks a turning point for Countly: from analytics to intelligence.

What’s New in Countly 26.01

Next-Generation Data Engine

‍We’ve completely re-architected Countly’s core database for performance and efficiency. Expect instant insights, faster queries, and lower infrastructure costs, all while maintaining full data integrity and consistency. This new engine also lays the foundation for AI-powered analytics, enabling teams to train or connect their own AI models on structured, private, and real-time data. From smarter loan approvals in banking to adaptive authentication in security, Countly data gives AI the missing ingredient: context that explains the “why,” not just the “what.”
