Reliability

Alvin Optimizer is hosted on highly reliable Google Cloud infrastructure. Should there ever be any problems, we have measures in place to immediately turn off all parts of the optimization.

The Query Optimizer is built from the ground up to handle large request volumes, fast. In addition to this, there are tests associated with every rewrite rule and these are run on every commit and prior to any deployment. If, by any chance, there is any error in processing and rewriting any SQL payload, the proxy will always fall back to passing on the original, untouched API request and payload, ensuring no disruption of service.

The Query Optimizer is implemented in rust/actix, a language and framework known for extreme performance and reliability. The Query Optimizer only adds single-digit milliseconds to the response time of any request, that will be unnoticeable.
