TECHNICAL EXPLAINER

You’re scaling to meet the needs of a global user base. Is your database prepared to scale with you?

Data locality and latency


Managing multiple databases in multiple regions requires that data is consistent, compliant and complete, without sacrificing performance.

Regional policies and regulations


Serving a global user base demands strict adherence to diverse regional policies, regulations, and differences to ensure seamless operations.

Zero tolerance for disruptions and outages


Routine maintenance and regional cloud outages can interrupt business operations and deteriorate the user experience. 

EDB delivers continuous high availability for the highest confidence in your data-intensive workloads.

Extended system capacity


​​​​​5x data replication performance and 99.999% availability means you can over-deliver on user expectations and build robust, globally distributed applications that process thousands of transactions per second.
