Use Cases
These instances are optimized to handle a high number of transactions per second (TPS) for I/O demanding and critical business applications that work with medium-sized data sets. They offer high compute performance and network throughput, making them ideal for relational databases (MySQL, MariaDB, PostgreSQL) and NoSQL databases (KeyDB, ScyllaDB, Cassandra). They are also well-suited for tasks requiring rapid access to medium-sized data sets on local storage, such as search engines and data analytics applications.
