LunarMax is not an in-memory database, it has data persistent on external storage. Then rest assured, your data is safe even an electricity failure occurs at your data center.

Some popular big cache solutions dump memory data every, say, 5 minutes, and reload all into the memory when restart. But this methodology is a big waste for disk space, and not efficient for system resources. When dumping GB memory data to disk, the server will be crazy busy and stop responding any request.

LunarMax takes the advantage of fast sequence flush of spin-disk. Any records come, they will first of all be flushed to the external disk, and then their properties and values will be extracted and mapped to LunarMax data structure(part in-memory and part in disk) for real time analysis.

Multiple properties are computed concurrently, user may specify how many threads will work for your job.
