All cloud vendors (e.g., Lsv3 on Azure, i4i/i3en on AWS, N2 on GCP) provide high-performance infrastructure. However, current DBaaS offerings from cloud vendors are simple wrappers on storage infrastructure (e.g., AWS/EBS, Azure Managed Disks), leveraging snapshot and other capabilities. As a result, these DBaaS offerings are not designed to leverage high-performance NVMe storage-based infrastructure, unless they are completely rearchitected.

Tessell’s innovation (patent pending) is to convert this high-performance compute and local storage into durable, persistent cloud storage. To top it off, we leverage native database technologies to turn this into a “zero data loss” infrastructure that can offer app-consistent DB snapshots and RPOs to the last committed transactions. As a result, Tessell offers comparatively high IOPS that leads to 10x performance, along with the durability and availability capabilities needed for “data” infrastructure.
