Background
With the explosive growth of game data, traditional relational databases are increasingly unable to meet the requirements for high concurrent read/write operations, efficient storage and access of massive data, high scalability, and high availability. NoSQL databases have seen rapid development due to their simple expansion and fast read/write capabilities.
Tencent Cloud TcaplusDB leverages the design principles and technologies of non-relational databases, balancing performance and cost to create a specialized solution for gaming data storage, considering the unique characteristics of games.
Introduction
TcaplusDB is a NoSQL distributed data storage service designed specifically for games, supporting Protobuf interface access. Tcaplus combines cache and disk to achieve high performance while also saving costs. It effectively supports both global and regional server configuration and offers solutions like seamless scaling, backup disaster recovery, and fast rollbacks to accommodate the burst growth and long-tail operation characteristics of games, ensuring safety and reliability. Currently, it is used in hundreds of popular games including <King of Glory>, <CrossFire>, <Naruto>.
