What Is GeminiDB?
GeminiDB is a distributed, multi-model NoSQL database service with decoupled storage and compute. It is highly available, reliable, secure, and scalable and delivers excellent performance. It can be deployed quickly and provide capabilities like backup, restoration, monitoring, and alarm reporting.
GeminiDB offers four API, which include the API for GeminiDB Cassandra, GeminiDB Influx, and GeminiDB Redis. They are compatible with Cassandra, InfluxDB, and Redis APIs respectively, and provide high read/write performance at low costs, making them well suited to sectors like IoT, meteorology, Internet, and gaming.
How Do I Select an API?
Different APIs provide different functions. You can select one of them based on your service requirements and scenarios.
API |
Compatible API |
Scenario |
Description |
|---|---|---|---|
Key-value API: Redis |
GeminiDB Redis API is a good fit for service scenarios where high read/write performance and elastic storage scaling are required. It stores all data in disks rather than in memory and can provide larger storage than open-source Redis at the same costs. |
GeminiDB Redis API is a cloud-native, Redis-compatible NoSQL database service, which uses Huawei-developed architecture with decoupled storage and compute. It stores multiple copies of data persistently in a shared storage pool to secure data and ensure strong consistency. GeminiDB Redis API is cost-effective, reliable, highly available and scalable without affecting existing data. |
|
Time-series API: InfluxDB |
GeminiDB Influx API is widely used to monitor resources, workloads, IoT devices, and industrial production processes, evaluate production quality, and trace faults. |
GeminiDB Influx API is a cloud-native, InfluxDB-compatible NoSQL time-series database, which uses Huawei-developed architecture with decoupled storage and compute. GeminiDB Influx API can read and write a large volume of time series data concurrently and store it with compression algorithms. The database service then allows you to query the data using SQL-like statements and supports multi-dimension aggregate computing and visual analysis on it. GeminiDB Influx API also provides high write performance, scalability, a good compaction rate, and excellent query performance. |
|
Wide-column API: Cassandra and DynamoDB |
GeminiDB Cassandra API can store terabytes of data and can handle millions of queries per second. It provides strong consistency, making it well suited to massive storage scenarios, such as manufacturing, meteorology, and the Internet. |
GeminiDB Cassandra API is a cloud-native, Cassandra-compatible NoSQL database service, which uses Huawei-developed architecture with decoupled storage and compute. This database service supports Cassandra Query Language (CQL), which gives you SQL-like syntax. It is secure, reliable, scalable, and easy to manage and can provide high read/write performance. |
