​No other solution came close to this product's speed and tech support is on a really high level
If you need local DB cache with extreme speed, then go for it, if you need something to work as a distributed cloud database, then solidDB would not be the right decision. With our Telco experience, we help with suggestions for new features and improvements of existing ones for new versions of solidDB. Also, in our labs, we do some pre-alpha testing to help them to complete some new features in the right way.

Open-source application support enhances development flexibility and maintenance efficiency
Until now, I have not developed an application using Microsoft with Oracle MySQL Cloud Service, but I think Microsoft has developed the network framework. The network framework runs successfully in Linux. If we develop a project using the network as a framework for the application, then we can use Oracle MySQL Cloud Service as a data repository when we are in the production environment. We can develop the Windows application. I know how to develop some projects related to AI, but I have not developed this application yet. All the features are excellent. On a scale of one to ten, I rate Oracle MySQL Cloud Service a nine.
