 Flex allows your dataset to span both high-performance RAM and cost-efficient dedicated Flash memory. Flex automatically manages data placement between the two tiers, keeping frequently accessed (“hot”) data in RAM for sub-millisecond latency, while moving less active (“warm”) data to Flash to optimize capacity and cost. This dual memory architecture delivers predictable performance at scale, enabling larger datasets without compromising speed or operational simplicity.
