In-memory data structure store: In-Memory DB can be used as a data structure, cache, message broker, and streaming engine.
Multiple data types and structures: While technically In-Memory DB is a key-value store, it is also a data structure server that supports multiple data types and structures, including the following: strings, hashes, lists, sets, sorted sets with range queries, bitmaps, hyperloglogs, geospatial indexes, and streams.
Key eviction policy: In-Memory DB supports LRU key eviction policy, which automatically detects old data in the cache when the maxmemory limit is reached upon incorporating new data. For more information, refer to the In-Memory DB documentation.
Lua Scripts: You can upload and execute Lua scripts to the In-Memory DB server. These scripts can use programmatic control structures and supported commands to access the In-Memory DB instance during execution.
Built-in asynchronous replication: Its built-in asynchronous replication feature acknowledges the amount of data processed. For more information, refer to the In-Memory DB documentation.
On-disk persistence: It persists data on disks using AOF and RDB persistence options.
User Management and Security: Access to the instance can be restricted to authorized users only. Role-based access control, robust encryption support, and user management tools ensure secure access and data protection.
Upgrades: IONOS DBaaS supports user-defined maintenance windows with minimal service disruption. The In-Memory DB instance may be unreachable for a few seconds when necessary for restarts or switching to another replica. Single-node instances temporarily gain a second node when it is necessary to replace the old one. Hence, maintenance downtime is the same for multi-node and single-node instances.
Programmatic Resource Management: Easier to deploy and manage In-Memory DB in the IONOS Cloud ecosystem through APIs, SDKs, and configuration management tools.
Monitoring and Reporting: In-Memory DB provides tools for performance monitoring, query analysis, and reporting to help optimize instance usage and identify potential issues.
Restore backup files: You can restore the backup files of each In-Memory DB cluster. For more information, see View individual cluster details and restore a backup.
Easy Configuration: Configure your In-Memory DB instance to comply with IONOS DBaaS's specifications. You can quickly create an instance and define users using the API commands.
Swift data retrieval: Its in-memory data structure store allows quick data retrieval from the cache.
Scalable: Because of In-Memory DB's vertical scalability, you can add storage, memory, and cores to match the growing demand for greater data processing power.
High availability: It supports both multi-node and single-node instances, which are equipped with automatic node failure handling. This ensures that it can continue to operate smoothly even if one or more nodes fail.
Security: If your In-Memory DB instance is configured to use TLS, clients and In-Memory DB communicate securely using TLS. For more information, refer to the following sections of the In-Memory DB documentation:
Resources: It is offered on Enterprise VM, with a dedicated CPU, storage, and RAM. Currently, SSD is the only supported storage option for In-Memory DB.
Network: To guard against direct internet-based threats, DBaaS is only connected to private networks.
