Alibaba Cloud Tair
What it is
Alibaba Cloud Tair is a cloud database service compatible with the open-source Redis protocol, for high-throughput, low-latency operations. It supports strings, lists, sets, sorted sets, hashes, streams, transactions and Pub/Sub commands. Available architectures include standalone, master-replica, cluster and read/write splitting. The product page describes support for multiple open-source Redis versions and migration without application code changes. Alibaba Cloud also describes online elastic scaling without downtime and point-in-time recovery accurate to the second. Additional data structures include distributed locks, multidimensional leaderboards, sliding windows and JSON file storage. The management platform monitors CPU, memory, connections and disk use, with alerts, audit logs and diagnostic reports. Integration options include OpenAPI, Alibaba Cloud SDKs, Alibaba Cloud CLI and Resource Orchestration Service; listed SDK languages include Java, C#, Go, Python, Swift, TypeScript, PHP and C++. Security controls include IP whitelists, VPC access, TLS in transit, transparent encryption for RDB files and backups. Named workloads include livestreaming, gaming, e-commerce flash sales and web application caching. New users can access a 30-day trial; the listed editions each show free for that term.
