    Oracle Coherence
    Oracle Coherence is the industry leading in-memory data grid solution that enables organizations to predictably scale mission-critical applications by providing fast access to frequently used data. As data volumes and customer expectations increase, driven by the “internet of things”, social, mobile, cloud and always-connected devices, so does the need to handle more data in real-time, offload over-burdened shared data services and provide availability guarantees. The latest release of Oracle Coherence, 14.1.1, adds a patented scalable messaging implementation, support for polyglot grid-side programming on GraalVM, distributed tracing in the grid, and certification on JDK 11. Coherence stores each piece of data within multiple members (one primary and one or more backup copies), and doesn't consider any mutating operation complete until the backup(s) are successfully created. This ensures that your data grid can tolerate the failure at any level: from single JVM, to whole data center.

    Yandex Managed Service for Redis
    You can deploy a ready-to-use cluster in just a few minutes. DB settings are initially optimized for the cluster size you selected. If the load on your cluster increases, you can add new servers or increase their capacity in a matter of minutes. Redis stores data in key-value format, supported values include strings, arrays, dictionaries, sets, bitmasks, and other types. Redis runs in RAM and is therefore suitable for tasks that require a quick response or involve performing a large number of operations on a relatively small amount of data. Backups of database contents are GPG-encrypted. Data is secured in accordance with the requirements of local regulatory, GDPR, and ISO industry standards. Set a time limit for Yandex Managed Service for Redis to automatically delete data and optimize your data storage costs.
