A shared characteristic in most (if not all) databases, be them traditional relational databases like Oracle, MySQL, and PostgreSQL or some kind of NoSQL-style database like MongoDB, is the use of a caching mechanism to keep (a copy of) part of the data in memory. So, how do you know if your hot data is in memory? MySQL does.

Atlas is an in-memory time-series database that ingests multiple billions of time-series per day and retains the last two weeks of data.

MongoDB offers several storage engines that cater to various use cases. The default storage engine in earlier versions was MMAPv1, which utilized memory-mapped files and document-level locking. The newer, pluggable storage engine, WiredTiger, addresses this by using prefix compression, collection-level locking, and row-based storage.
