A cleanup process to prune stale relationships from the database. Over time, each node caches a subset of subproblems to support a distributed cache, reduce the datastore load, and achieve SpiceDB’s horizontal scalability. What was problematic about this design? SpiceDB walks the graph and decomposes it into subproblems.

It sends messages over the cell network to the telematics system, which uses its compute servers (that is, web and application servers) to store incoming messages as snapshots in an in-memory data grid , also known as a distributed cache. This new software technique has the potential to make a major impact on the telematics industry.
