Whitepages services over 55M annual visitors on its open search web properties and provides 3M+ daily enterprise API transactions. To best service our expansive user and customer base, we developed our own fully-integrated, high-availability Identity Graph database which houses over 5B global identity records as a connected graph.

When it came time to evaluate datastore to serve our online contact records, we needed something with extremely low latency yet very high throughput and scalability. We needed to traverse the Identity Graph links to answer queries and determine how to get a graph database with sub-millisecond latency. Enter modeled graph data on flat NoSql schema using Redis on Flash. Join us to learn how we achieved controlled cost with our large, and ever-growing, amounts of data, without sacrificing response time and high throughput.
