In-Memory Storage Engine, as the name suggests, stores data in memory for faster performance and lower latencies. However, due to its reliance on the virtual memory subsystem, it is not suitable for larger datasets. It uses a filesystem cache and write-ahead log for crash recovery.

Given its unchanging nature, static content is ideal for caching.

Therefore any programming abstraction must be low latency and the kernel needs to be kept off the path of persistent data access as much as possible.
