We learned about Heimdall Data while looking for an easy-to-integrate caching solution for our Java application. We were having some growing pains with lots of new customers and we weren't ready for the higher volumes. We knew we had to do something - fast! To our surprise, implementing Heimdall was easy. We didn't have to do any code changes to our application to take advantage of their technology.

We deployed Heimdall Data to our production environment on AWS and soon starting seeing ~80% cache hit rates! We immediately noticed an improvement in response times and the load on the database was substantially lower. We have been running Heimdall Data in production for over 6 months and have had great results helping us scale without having to hire a DBA or increase AWS hardware specs ($$).

Other positives - Heimdall has a very good reporting system which provides monitoring and analytics of database queries. This helps identify any issues and optimize our database queries. In addition Heimdall provides very good support. They have very good expertise on AWS and some of their advice helped improve performance of our product.

I highly recommend them!
