In-Memory Databases: The Secret Weapon for Lightning-Fast Applications
Understanding In-Memory Databases Remember the last time you waited for a webpage to load and thought, “What century is this?” Yeah, that’s what disk-based databases feel like to modern applications. In-memory databases change that equation entirely. An in-memory database is fundamentally different from traditional databases that toil away on spinning disks. Instead of treating RAM as a temporary cache, in-memory databases make it their primary home. This architectural decision isn’t just a minor optimization—it’s a paradigm shift that rewires how applications handle data access....
