What Is GeminiDB Mongo API?

GeminiDB Mongo API is a cloud-native NoSQL database service compatible with MongoDB. It is scalable, highly available, and easy to manage on a web-based console.

  • Enterprise-class performance

    GeminiDB Mongo API gives you 3 times the performance of the open-source version. It supports 24/7 write operations, high availability, and automated load balancing to deliver consistent performance at all times.

  • Scalability

    It uses a decoupled storage and compute architecture. You can add compute nodes in minutes and scale up storage in seconds with no impact on your workloads.

  • Availability
    • A multi-layer security system, including VPCs, subnets, security groups, SSL, and fine-grained permission control, ensures database security and user privacy.
    • You can deploy nodes across three AZs and quickly back up or restore data to improve data availability.
    • The distributed architecture provides superlative fault tolerance (N-1 reliability).
  • Easy management

    You can create, delete, back up, restore, monitor, and scale instances with just a few clicks on the web-based console. Alarms will be triggered whenever certain metric thresholds are reached by your instance.

Typical Application Scenarios

Gaming

GeminiDB Mongo API is compatible with MongoDB. It can store game data, such as user equipment and bonus points. You can add compute nodes for GeminiDB Mongo instances to handle high concurrency of gaming applications.

Advantages

  • Scalability

    GeminiDB Mongo API is well suited when you must quickly add compute nodes within 6 hours after a game is launched.

  • Fast recovery

    GeminiDB Mongo API enables quick restoration of table-level game data to a specified time point.

  • Seamless expansion

    Capacity can seamlessly increase without affecting current game experience.
