In solidDB, the main focus is on short response times that naturally results from the fact that the data is already
in memory. Additional techniques are available to avoid any unnecessary latency in the local database usage,
such as linking applications with the database server code by way of special drivers. By using those approaches,
one can shorten the query response time to a fraction (one tenth or even less) of that available in a traditional
database system. The improved response time also fuels high throughput. Nevertheless, techniques of improving
the throughput of concurrent operations are applied too. The outcome is a unique combination of short response
times and high throughput.
The advantages of solidDB in-memory database over a disk-based database are illustrated in Figure 2 where
