Our take
Once applications begin to gain popularity, databases need to be able to handle an increased volume of requests, larger data sets, and more complicated queries. Databases that can’t keep up can lead to substantial business losses precisely when there’s most to be gained: Super Bowl weekend, for example, or Black Friday. ReadySet is looking to help companies dodge this issue.
The company has developed a plug-and-play data caching layer that pre-computes and caches query results in relational databases, meaning that database reads can remain fast. In fact, ReadySet claims that the layer supports millions of reads per second “with sub-millisecond latencies on a single node”.
This is a hugely impressive feat from the company, founded by a team of data systems researchers from MIT, for whom ReadySet began as Noria - the open source streaming data-flow system developed in the lab. Plus, surveys suggest that there’s substantial enterprise appetite for this kind of product. This is partly thanks to unfit legacy systems, and partly in anticipation of the swelling user and data volumes anticipated for the years ahead - both are good news for ReadySet.
