Results: Griddb Performance Using Google Cloud Platform
With just 3 Google Cloud nodes, GridDB was close to completing 1 million writes per second
with 897,718 operations per second. Performance was able to scale linearly as servers were
added, with 20 servers being able to achieve our goal of 5 million writes-per-second.
GridDB is a super fast database for IoT and Big Data applications
developed by Toshiba Digital Solutions Corporation. It has a unique
key-container data model that is ideal for storing sensor data, a
“memory first, storage second” architecture that provides incredible
performance, and it easily scales out to up to 1,000 nodes.
Several databases have published reports over the last few years,
including Cassandra, Aerospike, and Couchbase in which they share
that were able to sustain one million writes-per-second running on
public cloud services. We (Fixstars) and the GridDB team took that as
a challenge and decided to see how much further we could scale
GridDB and drive down the performance-per-dollar.
While these tests showcase GridDB’s excellent performance on
Google Cloud Platform, they also showcase best practices when
designing a GridDB IoT, IIoT, and other applications that require
high velocity write performance.
