Online Elastic Scaling and Service Expansion

With the native decoupled compute and storage architecture, GeminiDB can use stateless compute nodes, making service expansion easily.

Service expansion refers to the expansion of compute nodes and storage capacity.

• GeminiDB provides shared storage, pay-per-use billing, one-click capacity expansion, and up to 96 TB of storage capacity. Services are not interrupted during the capacity expansion.
• Compute nodes support both horizontal and vertical expansion.
  1. The number of shards can be increased by adding compute nodes because the compute nodes are stateless. You do not need to purchase additional storage devices or rebuild data. No matter how large the data volume is, it takes about 5 minutes to add shards.
  2. GeminiDB is deployed in containers. You only need to modify compute resources through adjusting container parameters, and no disk needs to be attached. In this way, specifications can be changed rapidly.
