Embarcadero
Cross-platform application development tools for Delphi and C++ developers.
Embarcadero provides IDEs, databases, and application server tools for building native cross-platform applications. Its product line addresses the need to develop and deploy high-performance native apps for Windows, Linux, iOS, macOS, and Android from a single codebase, along with embedded data storage and REST API back-end services.
The product line includes RAD Studio, an IDE containing Delphi and C++Builder for visual, multi-platform native development; InterBase, an embeddable SQL database with encryption, disaster recovery, and change synchronization; RAD Server, a REST API application platform deployable on-premise or to the cloud; and Kai, an agentic AI add-on for the IDEs that generates code and UIs, compiles projects, resolves errors, and executes tasks via MCP-powered workflows with flexible LLM choice. RAD Studio also includes Python integration libraries, and free developer tools such as Dev-C++, CPP Check, REST Debugger, PyScripter, and InterBase ToGo Lite are available.
The tools are aimed at developers building native desktop, mobile, and web applications, as well as teams needing embedded databases or REST API back ends. Free Community Editions of Delphi 13 and C++Builder 13 are available, along with free trials of RAD Studio, Delphi, C++Builder, InterBase, InterBase ToGo, and RAD Server. Kai is offered as a premium add-on, and InterBase licensing is available for OEM or VAR arrangements through sales.
