            The PixelsDB project is centered on <strong>Pixels</strong>, a columnar storage and compute
            engine for analytical workloads. It is designed for on-premises and cloud-native storage,
            integrates with mainstream query engines, and extends into serverless query processing,
            web-based exploration, and CDC-driven data freshness.
