What is Transaction Engine?
IBM Cloudant has an architecture option, which is underpinned by a Transaction Engine. This architecture aims to provide the best of both non-relational and relational data stores combining scale, fault tolerance, consistency, security, and
speed at optimal cost. The Transaction Engine architecture is compared to the "Classic" architecture for clarity in the documentation. Instances that are provisioned with the Standard on Transaction Engine
plan are deployed
by using this architecture, while instances on the Lite
and Standard
plan are deployed on the "Classic" architecture.
