1.5 billion
constantly changing records
Challenges
- Needed high throughput and easy scalability to provide 5-millisecond response times to banks and lenders
- Required performance at scale to support rapidly growing data sets of petabytes and beyond
- Needed high uptime to keep services available for businesses around the world
Outcomes
- Multi-dimensional scaling enables scaling of individual workloads while processing 300+ million documents in 40 minutes
- Cross datacenter replication (XDCR) and master-master replication support a comprehensive disaster recovery plan
- Powerful system monitoring and management lower operations costs
The most important thing as I was going through the evaluation process is the multi-dimensional scaling. Having a few nodes for a specific use case is very powerful rather than trying to use every node for horizontal scalability.
