In an era of sub-second expectations, the database shouldn’t be your bottleneck. MariaDB In-Memory Cache, powered by GridGain’s industry-leading technology, introduces a unified performance layer between your applications and your data. GridGain is the enterprise-ready distribution of Apache Ignite, providing the proven scalability and performance of the developer-loved platform.
Whether you need instant, zero-code acceleration or granular, developer-led control, our integrated caching solutions eliminate latency, slash infrastructure costs, and scale your most demanding workloads – without the complexity of managing disparate systems.
The MariaDB + GridGain Advantage
The acquisition of GridGain brings world-class in-memory computing natively into the MariaDB environment. This isn’t just an extension; it’s a deep integration designed to handle your most mission-critical data.
Sub-Millisecond Latency
Move your “hot” data from disk to RAM for faster response times, turning minute-long queries into millisecond responses.
Frictionless Implementation
Accelerate your environment with zero application code changes. Our “lowest barrier to entry” path allows you to deploy high-speed caching as a transparent intermediary.
Architectural Consolidation
Simplify your stack by removing complex, third-party caching layers and fragile batch pipelines. MariaDB provides a single, integrated ecosystem for both storage and acceleration.
Geo-Distributed Performance
Serve global traffic with ease. GridGain extends MariaDB’s reach, delivering ultra-low latency even in complex, geo-distributed setups.
Distributed Scale-Out Architecture
Handle millions of requests without architectural upheaval. GridGain’s distributed memory grid allows you to scale horizontally and maintain linear performance as your data grows.
Unified Enterprise Support
Streamline your operations with a single partner for your entire data delivery stack. From the database to the cache, you have the peace of mind that comes from a fully integrated, expert support ecosystem.

Strategic Solutions: Powering the Real-Time Enterprise
While many see a caching infrastructure as a simple speed boost, the MariaDB and GridGain integration is designed for mission-critical workloads where latency isn’t just a metric – it’s a business risk. Beyond simple query acceleration, our converged platform enables a new class of high-performance use cases:
Real-Time Risk Management
Detect and Act in the Moment
Don’t wait for batch processes to identify risks. Process real-time streaming data and execute complex business rules or AI/ML models instantly. This allows your systems to make critical optimizations and risk-mitigation decisions as events occur, not after the fact.
Embedded Smart Decisions
Intelligence in the Context of Every Transaction
Bridge the gap between your analytical insights and operational reality. By executing analytical models directly within the context of a transaction, you can provide personalized offers, fraud checks, or dynamic pricing at the very moment a user interacts with your application.
Converged Transactional Analytics (HTAP)
Real-Time Insights Against Live Data
Break down the silos between your database and your analytics engine. Execute complex mathematical models against live streaming data from multiple sources to gain an immediate, accurate view of your business performance without the delay of traditional ETL pipelines.
Massive Transactional Throughput
Engineered for Low-Latency, High-Velocity Applications
Scale your most demanding OLTP workloads without hitting the performance ceiling of traditional data architecture. By moving parts of the transaction processing into an in-memory grid, you achieve highly scalable and reliable performance for applications that require millions of transactions per second.
Low-Latency 360° View
The Ultimate Real-Time Data Hub
Consolidate data from disparate systems of record into a high-speed, low-latency hub. MariaDB + GridGain allows you to manipulate and curate data on the fly, providing applications and audiences with a unified, 360-degree view of the customer in milliseconds.
Impact Across the Enterprise
A strategic performance layer solves problems across the entire organization.
