High-Performance database with NVMe storage

NVMe (Non-Volatile Memory Express) is a high-performance communication interface designed for SSDs, offering increased efficiency and interoperability across various systems, and is becoming a standard for data centers and client devices. Tessell harnesses NVMe's capabilities to provide a high-performance, durable database service, addressing the challenge of NVMe's ephemeral nature in cloud setups by using patented technology for continuous backup and data durability. Tessell's solution involves segregating primary and secondary storage, using NVMe for primary workloads and EBS for secondary needs, leading to significant performance improvements and cost reductions. Their approach allows for near-zero IO wait times and efficient CPU usage, offering substantial benefits over existing managed database services, as demonstrated by their consistent performance benchmarks.
