Chronicle Map is a super-fast, in-memory, non-blocking, key-value store, designed for low-latency, and/or multi-process applications such as trading and financial market applications. See Features doc for more information.
The size of a Chronicle Map is not limited by memory (RAM), but rather by the available disk capacity.
Chronicle Map is used in production around the world for:
-
real-time trading systems. Chronicle Map provides in-memory access speeds, and supports ultra-low garbage collection. Chronicle Map can support the most demanding of applications.
-
highly concurrent systems. Chronicle Map supports multiple readers and writers, distributed across multiple machines.
Chronicle Map is:
-
fast. Millions of operations per second, with low and stable microsecond latencies for reads and writes. Write queries scale well up to the number of hardware execution threads in the server. Read queries never block each other.
-
reliable. Chronicle Software have a “chaos monkey” test which verifies Chronicle Map multi-master replication in the face of node and network failures. The map can optionally be persisted to disk.
-
in production at banks and hedge funds, globally.
-
built using lessons learnt from real-world experience solving real-world problems.
-
open source (standard version), and in use at hundreds of sites around the world.
