DDM, RDS, DRS enhancements on the Flexible Engine cloud


Flexible Engine
Release Notes

February, 2022


Discover the new updates that have been made to Data Replication Service (DRS), Document Database Service (DDS) and Relational Database Service (RDS).

Distributed Database Middleware (DDM)

Distributed Database Middleware (DDM) is a database middleware service (to be developed into a distributed relational database service) that is compatible with MySQL licenses. It uses a storage-compute decoupled architecture that makes it easy to scale out compute and storage resources to handle a huge number of concurrent requests.
