Our SIGMOD '24 paper explores MemoryDB's architecture, which delivers in-memory performance and strong consistency at scale. A key innovation is the decoupling of durability and replication from the in-memory database engine, which allows scaling compute and storage independently based on customer workload needs. Customer data integrity, security, and availability are paramount for MemoryDB. The paper dives deep into innovations that the team built to make that possible (a personal favorite is off-box snapshotting which allows us to create consistent database snapshots on separate clusters to avoid impacting live customer traffic and preventing resource contention). We also share hardened operational experiences from running a distributed database at cloud scale. #aws #memorydb #inmemory #databases #durability #sigmod
