Ripple investment department RippleX introduced Clio v1.0.

In a tweet, Ripple Investment Department RippleX unveiled server Clio v1.0. The description read:

Introducing Clio v1.0–an #XRPLedger API server built to: ✓Enhance throughput for API requests ✓Reduce memory usage ✓Lower storage overhead ✓Enable easier horizontal scaling

The dedicated website had details about the server:

Clio is an XRP Ledger API server optimized for WebSocket or HTTP API calls for validated ledger data. A Clio server does not connect to the peer-to-peer network. Instead, it extracts data from a specified rippled server which is connected to the P2P network. By handling API calls efficiently, Clio servers can help reduce the load on rippled servers running in P2P mode. Clio stores validated historical ledger and transaction data in a space efficient format, using up to 4 times less space than rippled. Clio uses Cassandra or ScyllaDB, allowing for scalable read throughput. Multiple Clio servers can share access to the same dataset, thereby enabling you to build a highly available cluster of Clio servers without the need for redundant data storage or computation. Clio requires access to a rippled server, which can run on the same machine as Clio or separately.While Clio offers the complete HTTP / WebSocket APIs, by default, it only returns validated data. For any requests that require access to the P2P network, Clio automatically forwards the request to the rippled server on the P2P network and passes the response back
