In-Memory Database Overview and Insights

This document discusses in-memory databases (IMDBs). It defines IMDBs as database management systems where data is primarily stored in main memory for faster access than traditional disk-based databases. Key benefits of IMDBs include improved performance, flexibility, and real-time updates. However, IMDBs also face potential pitfalls around data loss if data is stored in volatile memory and higher costs compared to disk-based databases. The document reviews IMDB architecture, support for ACID properties, examples of IMDB types, and considerations for when an IMDB may be suitable for a company.
