Data Stores Integrations#

Edilitics integrates with essential data stores, including Redis and SQLite, which are widely utilized for various data storage and retrieval scenarios. While these data stores differ in architecture and use cases, they both offer vital capabilities for efficient data management. Within the Edilitics platform, Redis and SQLite serve as data sources, making them ideal for workflows requiring quick data access or lightweight storage solutions.

Supported Data Stores#

Below is an overview of the data stores supported by Edilitics:

Strategic Applications of Supported Data Stores#

Redis: High-Performance In-Memory Data Store#

• Real-Time Data Access : Redis excels in scenarios requiring real-time data access, such as caching, session management, or leaderboard functionalities. Its in-memory architecture enables ultra-fast read and write operations, making it ideal for high-throughput environments.

• Ephemeral Data : Redis is highly effective in managing ephemeral data—data that does not need to be permanently stored, such as session data, temporary analytics, or transient calculations.

• Real-Time Analytics : Redis can be leveraged to support real-time analytics workflows, providing the speed needed for dashboards that demand up-to-the-second data.

SQLite: Lightweight and Portable Data Store#

• Embedded Application : SQLite is frequently used in applications requiring a simple, local database, such as mobile apps, IoT devices, or small-scale desktop software. Its minimal setup requirements make it ideal for scenarios where ease of use is a priority.

• Development and Prototyping : SQLite is often employed in development environments for prototyping and testing, where the overhead of a more complex database system is unnecessary.

• Local Data Storage : SQLite is well-suited for managing application data locally on the device, providing an efficient solution for handling small to medium-sized datasets without the need for a separate database server.

Usage in Edilitics#

Within the Edilitics platform, Redis and SQLite are exclusively used as data sources. This means they are primarily utilized for extracting data into your workflows rather than serving as destinations for data storage. Here’s how they can be effectively leveraged within Edilitics:

• Data Extraction : Redis and SQLite can be used as sources for your data extraction processes. This is particularly useful for pulling in high-speed, real-time data from Redis or accessing localized, embedded data from SQLite for further analysis.

• Real-Time Analytics : Redis can be incorporated as a data source for real-time analytics workflows, enabling data to be processed and visualized with minimal delay, ensuring up-to-date insights.

• Lightweight Data Handling : SQLite serves as a data source in scenarios requiring lightweight data handling, such as quick analysis of locally stored data or integrating data from mobile or embedded devices into your broader analytics pipeline.

Edilitics' integration with Redis and SQLite as data sources provides users with the flexibility to incorporate both high-performance in-memory data and lightweight, portable databases into their analytical workflows. Although these data stores are not available as destinations within Edilitics, their role as data sources is crucial for scenarios that demand rapid data access or simplified data management. By leveraging Redis and SQLite within Edilitics, organizations can enhance their data processing capabilities, particularly in real-time analytics and localized data scenarios.
