How Scalable is VoltDB?
Percona guys[1] have run, analyzed, and concluded about VoltDB scalability:
VoltDB is very scalable; it should scale to 120 partitions, 39 servers, and 1.6 million complex transactions per second at over 300 CPU cores
Considering the definition: “A system whose performance improves after adding hardware, proportionally to the capacity added, is said to be a scalable system.”, the conclusion should be slightly updated:
VoltDB can scale up to 120 partitions on 39 servers with 300 CPU cores and 1.6 million TPS.
Bottom line:
- if you can fit your data into 40 servers’ memory
- you need ACID and SQL
- you are OK precompiled Java based stored procedures
- you don’t need multi data center deployments
now you can estimate how far you can go with VoltDB.
