Version 3.0 of the Varada platform is now the most powerful and cost-effective way to leverage the power of indexing. The new version eliminates the need to keep high-performance and expensive NVMe (Solid-State) compute instances idling when the cluster is not in use. The third layer is the ‘warm’ data layer, where an object’s data layer is used to store all indexes for scaling purposes. An index-once approach to indexing allows to speed up warm-up time by 10x-20x.
