GenieDB :: Technology :: Full replication + Immediate Consistency
Replication: Fast and Robust

Replication for performance: GenieDB is a fully replicated, distributed database. With our MySQL interface, GenieDB works in parallel to existing MySQL storage engines thereby offering a fast and scalable cluster to store heavily queried data.

Replication for resilience: Multi-master replication is the cornerstone of a website requiring 100% uptime. To ensure the highest availability, GenieDB also features self-healing so nodes and clusters can automatically recover from failures without administrator involvement.

Immediate consistency

GenieDB provides both full replication AND immediate data consistency, so your application always reads the most current data, however many nodes you have in however many locations.

This has remained one of the biggest issues in distributed systems and database replication for the web and represents GenieDB’s greatest technical innovation.

GenieDB achieves Immediate Consistency by layering and combining the very best of well established solutions in sharding and replication technology in a completely new way - the result is that every request from every node in the cluster will deliver the same results.
