Session: Magma: New Couchbase Storage Engine

Speaker: Shivani Gupta, Director Product Management, Couchbase

Abstract
Magma is Couchbase’s latest storage engine that is designed for high performance with very large datasets that do not fit in memory. It is ideal for use cases that rely primarily on disk access. Magma’s design allows it to function with minimal amounts of memory – it is operationally stable at as low as 1% memory-to-data ratio. For example, if you want to store 1TB of data in a node, you need only 10GB of memory to run with Magma if you want to access everything primarily from the disk.

In this talk, you can learn more about Magma including the performance improvements along with the scenarios in which you could benefit from using Magma as the storage engine for your Couchbase buckets.
