In cloud-native environments response times can be an issue, due to multiple layers of network virtualization and the response time per load that is added by managed database services (DBaaS). While Kubernetes excels with high scalability and flexibility, numerous network hops lead to increased traffic, resulting in high latency.
With XAP Skyline, developers can ensure that data-driven applications achieve the highest levels of performance and serve hundreds of thousands of concurrent users while delivering sub-second response times. XAP Skyline delivers the low latency, scalability and resilience that are vital for businesses running time-sensitive apps in distributed Kubernetes clusters.
Reduce data access latency up to 90%
Accelerate data access and reduce network overhead, with:
- In-memory, event-driven processing
- Bringing the critical data closer to the application into the Kubernetes cluster
This proximity and the introduction of a high speed in-memory data tier significantly improves read/write speeds, translating to faster, more responsive applications. XAP Skyline ensures data locality and reduces the latency typically associated with external database calls.Â
Ensure effortless adoption with PostgreSQL compatibility
XAP Skyline is designed for developers. Reuse existing DB connections and SQLs generated by the applications to access in-memory data. Benefit from the consistent data available at the speed of RAM and the flexibility of SQL with:
- Standard SQL Support for semi-structured hierarchical data formats
- Standard and flexible data access patterns using SQL Reads/Writes (ansi99), with access to tables with a Java APIÂ
Guarantee data consistency with databases
Ensure full transaction consistency (ACID) throughout synchronizations with the DBaaS. Provide the same level of data consistency as the source DBaaS, and eliminate data loss and conflicting responses that may occur during synchronizations.Â
All components are highly-available, providing enterprise-grade reliability so that data consistency is guaranteed even in cases of hardware or network outages.
Maintain seamless synchronization with the DBaaSÂ
From the initial data load and throughout all ongoing updates via XAP Skyline, the solution uses write-behind to asynchronously update the database, without increasing latency or affecting performance.Â
In parallel, XAP Skyline ensures synchronization between Kubernetes clusters, where cloud native apps run on multi-cluster deployments.
Achieve high concurrency during peak loadsÂ
Ensure always-on service, even during peak loads, without stressing your databases. XAP Skyline is designed for high volumes of concurrent transactions, while reducing load on backend databases, and lowering contention.Â
Leverage Kubernetes to handle auto-scaling and meet fluctuating volumes, maximizing database utilization. Reduce costs associated with DBaaS utilization by offloading the sensitive load into XAP Skyline.Â
