This cartridge provides OrientDB on the Openshift Platform.
OrientDB is an open source NoSQL database management system written in Java. It has features of both Document and Graph management, as it’s document-based database, but the relationships are managed as in graph databases with direct connections between records.
OrientDB is incredibly fast: it can store up to 150,000 records per second on common hardware. In addition, this database supports schema-less, schema-full and schema-mixed modes. It also has a strong security profiling system based on users and roles and supports SQL as a query language.
OpenShift’s cartridge model to make it easier for independent software vendors (ISVs) offering core services in multiple platforms and for a wider array of cloud ecosystems and marketplaces. This open standard for technology packaging and deployment enables ISVs and end-users to integrate their own middleware, databases, and services into the platform and make them available to PaaS developers building applications.
