Product Update: ADD Becomes Serengeti


As a product update; The “Autonomous Distributed Database”, otherwise known as simply ADD has been renamed to Serengeti.

The Serengeti is a vast ecosystem in east-central Africa. It spans 12,000 square miles (30,000 square kilometers), according to NASA, giving rise to its name, which is derived from the Maasai language and means “endless plains.” This region of Africa is located in north Tanzania and extends to southwestern Kenya.

Much the same, the Serengeti database project is a truly autonomous distributed system that has no visible ending nor capacity. There is the potential to scale it infinitely, horizontally without downtime or data loss.
