What is MemoryDB?
It is a high-speed in-memory database service that delivers ultra-fast performance and strong consistency. MemoryDB is compatible with Redis which is a popular open source data store. It enables the user to quickly build applications by the use of flexible and friendly Redis data structures, APIs, and commands that are in use today. MemoryDB is also used to store data across multiple Availability Zones (AZs) and help its users overcome fast failover, database recovery, and node restarts.
A MemoryDB cluster is a group of network servers that work together to store and manage data in memory. Every server contributes some of its RAM to store a part of the overall database. This allows the database to store beyond the memory capacity of a single server. Clusters are used because they provide surplus and high-availability database storage using replication. The Nodes in a cluster are connected to each other with the help of high-speed networks to reduce latency whenever the servers communicate and replicate data.
What Is Memory DB? Creating And Configuring MemoryDB Clusters
A Memory DB known as a “Memory Database” is a type of open-source data storage that is designed in such a way that it can perform the read and write operations very quickly. It is made for applications that need very high-speed data speed and low latency response. This MemoryDB is Durable in nature and was built for modern applications with microservices architectures.
A MemoryDB Cluster is made up of multiple nodes that are interconnected and distributed such that they share and manage the data very quickly. The use of the MemoryDB cluster has eliminated the need to separate and manage a cache and durable database.
