# EloqData > SSD-first, Memory-Speed Persistence Database Architecture. ## Project Overview EloqData is building the next generation of high-performance databases designed for the modern hardware landscape (NVMe SSDs) rather than traditional DRAM-heavy models. Our architecture focuses on extreme low tail latency (P99.99 < 6ms) and massive concurrency. ## Core Technology - **EloqStore**: An open-source, SSD-first storage engine. - **Async I/O**: Deep integration with Linux io_uring for high-throughput disk operations. - **Concurrency**: Built using C++20 coroutines to handle millions of concurrent requests. - **APIs**: Provides a multi-model layer including: - **EloqKV**: Redis-compatible API. - **EloqDoc**: MongoDB-compatible API. - Built on top of ScyllaDB for horizontal scalability. ## Key Performance Targets - Optimized for "Memory-Speed Persistence" (using SSDs as primary storage while maintaining DRAM-like speeds). - Targeted at AI workloads, real-time analytics, and high-scale metadata management. - Designed to bypass global DRAM shortages and high infrastructure costs. ## Documentation & Resources - Main Site: https://www.eloqdata.com - GitHub: https://github.com/EloqData - Technical Blog: https://www.eloqdata.com/blog ## Team - Co-founded by Lintao Zhang (CEO), Hubert Zhang (CTO) and Jeff Chen (Chief Architect). - Engineering roots in GreenplumDB and Pivotal database internals.
