Reduce DBaaS Latency of Cloud Native Apps by 90%

Reduce data access latency in cloud native apps by up to 90%

In cloud native environments with managed databases that reside outside the Kubernetes cluster, latency rises due to the multiple layers of network virtualization and security, as pictured here with several network hops.

XAP Skyline, a cloud native data platform for cloud native applications leverages Kubernetes services and networking capabilities to optimize data paths. The platform serves data at extremely high concurrency and low latency utilizing its in-memory capabilities. XAP solves the latency challenge by bringing the data closer to the application into the same application network, and uses an in-memory data store to enable fast and concurrent access to the data.

By bringing the critical data closer to the application into the Kubernetes cluster, and running the data in-memory, XAP Skyline reduces latency by 90% compared to a managed database (RDS), as evidenced below by the few network hops. It also assures data consistency, data synchronization and concurrency.
