Tair is a distributed key-value storage system developed by Alibaba, offering fast in-memory (MDB) and persistent (LDB) storage engines. It uses a cluster architecture with ConfigServers and DataServers to provide high availability, load balancing, and elastic scaling of capacity and throughput.

Use cases

  • run a distributed key-value cache cluster
  • self-host a redis-compatible nosql store
  • scale cache capacity and qps elastically
  • store persistent key-value data with high availability
  • migrate and rebalance data across storage nodes automatically

When to choose

  • you need a highly available, horizontally scalable key-value store
  • you want both in-memory and persistent storage engines
  • you need automatic failover and data migration in a cache cluster

When to avoid

  • you need a simple single-node cache
  • you require active community development and recent releases
  • gpl-2.0 licensing is incompatible with your project
