Series overview
When creating a Lindorm instance, select a Commodity Type based on your use case.
| Series | Description | Supported engines | Supported storage types | Scenarios |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Lindorm | Deployed as an individual cluster. Each engine runs on dedicated nodes, providing full resource isolation. Suited for workloads with high cluster resource requirements. | Wide table, time series, search, LDFS, LTS, AI, and compute engines | Standard storage, performance storage, storage-optimized cloud storage, local SSDs, big data storage (formerly local HDDs) | Production environments of medium and large-sized enterprises. Use cases include Internet of Vehicles (IoV), Internet of Things (IoT), Industrial IoT (IIoT), risk control, billing, advertising, feeds, and data dashboards. |
| Lindorm New Edition | A lightweight, flexible series with two instance types: Production and Test. Production instances require at least two nodes per engine and include Service-Level Agreement (SLA) guarantees. Test instances require one or more nodes per engine, have no SLA guarantee, and offer a lower-cost option for non-production use. | Wide table, time series, search, vector, column store, LTS, AI, and compute engines | Ultra Disk, ESSD | Production: Production environments of medium and large-sized enterprises. Test: Learning for individual developers and functional validation for small enterprises. Do not use test instances in production. |
| Lindorm AIGC Trial Edition | Provides AIGC features—intelligent Q&A, text-based image search, and text-to-image generation—at low cost without development or operations overhead. Suited for exploring Lindorm's AIGC capabilities. | N/A | N/A | Learning for individual developers. Modeling reference and intelligent Q&A. |
| Lindorm Tunnel Service | A data ecosystem service built for Lindorm. Supports data exchange, processing, and subscription. Use LTS for data migration, real-time subscription, data lake dumping, data warehouse backflow, unit-based multi-active deployment, and backup and recovery. For details, see Overview. | N/A | N/A | Data migration without service downtime. Decoupling online workloads from offline workloads. Primary/secondary disaster recovery. Building archives for historical data stored in ApsaraDB RDS databases. |
