Operates at the database core level using shared memory queues and background workers, ensuring negligible overhead on your production systems.
Scalefield Secure uses a lock-free shared memory ring buffer architecture between database background workers and the collector process. Audit events are written into shared memory segments without acquiring locks, achieving sub-millisecond write latency. The collector reads from the buffer independently, ensuring zero contention with active database queries.
The lock-free ring buffer design eliminates contention entirely. Audit writes complete in microseconds without blocking any database operation, delivering sub-millisecond latency that is invisible to your application workload.
Less than 1% CPU overhead even under peak load, verified across both OLTP and analytics workloads. Compliance monitoring runs safely alongside your most demanding production systems without affecting query performance or throughput.
Dedicated background workers handle audit serialization independently from query execution. Compliance monitoring never competes with your application for database resources — audit collection runs on its own processing path.
Available for CYBERTEC PGEE and on-premise PostgreSQL. The ring buffer uses a single-producer, single-consumer model with memory-mapped segments. Buffer sizing is configurable to handle burst workloads without dropping events or blocking queries.
The collector process runs as a separate Kubernetes pod (or OS process) and writes directly to Parquet format for archival. This complete separation means you can scale audit processing independently from your database infrastructure.
