• TimescaleDB compresses time-series data

  At StackGres [1] we find Timescale to be one of the most used extensions. Timescale is quite a successful project! StackGres is actually the first solution recommended by Timescale for self-hosting with Kubernetes operators [2]. So if you are into Kubernetes (or if not, consider it, using something like K3s [3] is quite straightforward and lightweight on resources), this is probably a great option to self-host... - Source: Hacker News / about 2 months ago

• Show HN: SQL-tap – Real-time SQL traffic viewer for PostgreSQL and MySQL

  * Latency. Yes, yes, yes, they add "microseconds" vs "milliseconds for queries", and that's true, but just part of the story. There's an extra hop. There's two extra sets of TCP layers being traversed. If the hop is local (say a sidecar, as we do in StackGres) it adds complexity in its deployment and management (something we solved by automation, but was an extra problem to solve) and consumes resources. If it's a... - Source: Hacker News / 6 months ago

• Application Less Containers

  This is conceptually similar to what we did for Postgres extensions at the StackGres [1] project. I gave a talk at a Kubecon about it [2]. However, this scheme is not perfect. Some Kubernetes security solutions enforce immutable containers, and once the agent pulls any additional file into the container, it will be flagged. It's also harder to reason about the security of the image (think CVEs, etc), given that... - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago

• Pg_lakehouse: Query Any Data Lake from Postgres

  I applaud the decision to use AGPL-3.0. For me, it's a license that provides forward guarantees to the Community: no proprietary forks can happen, so any fork will be an OSS fork from which the upstream project may benefit too, which benefits all users. That's the reason we chose this license for StackGres [1], another project in the Postgres space. [1]: https://stackgres.io. - Source: Hacker News / about 2 years ago

• Keycloak with PostgreSQL on Kubernetes

  This is good and interesting recipe to get Keycloak and Postgres on Kubernetes. There is an important improvement, though: the Postgres deployed here is not production ready (high availability, backups, monitoring, etc). We run Keycloak on StackGres [1] which gives us production-ready Postgres setup (disclaimer: it's dogfooding). Happy to share the YAML manifests used to deploy Keycloak with StackGres. Maybe we... - Source: Hacker News / over 3 years ago

• Why Apache IoTDB Is Written in Java: A Decade of Engineering Trade-offs

  When IoTDB was initiated in 2011, almost all influential distributed systems and databases were built in Java or on the JVM—such as Hadoop, HBase, Spark (Scala on JVM), Cassandra, Kafka, and Flink. To integrate deeply with the big data ecosystem, choosing Java was a natural decision. - Source: dev.to / 4 months ago

• Why You Shouldn’t Invest In Vector Databases?

  In fact, even in the absence of these commercial databases, users can effortlessly install PostgreSQL and leverage its built-in pgvector functionality for vector search. PostgreSQL stands as the benchmark in the realm of open-source databases, offering comprehensive support across various domains of database management. It excels in transaction processing (e.g., CockroachDB), online analytics (e.g., DuckDB),... - Source: dev.to / over 1 year ago

• Data integrity in Ably Pub/Sub

  All messages are persisted durably for two minutes, but Pub/Sub channels can be configured to persist messages for longer periods of time using the persisted messages feature. Persisted messages are additionally written to Cassandra. Multiple copies of the message are stored in a quorum of globally-distributed Cassandra nodes. - Source: dev.to / over 1 year ago

• Which Database is Perfect for You? A Comprehensive Guide to MySQL, PostgreSQL, NoSQL, and More

  Cassandra is a highly scalable, distributed NoSQL database designed to handle large amounts of data across many commodity servers without a single point of failure. - Source: dev.to / about 2 years ago

• Consistent Hashing: An Overview and Implementation in Golang

  Distributed storage Distributed storage systems like Cassandra, DynamoDB, and Voldemort also use consistent hashing. In these systems, data is partitioned across many servers. Consistent hashing is used to map data to the servers that store the data. When new servers are added or removed, consistent hashing minimizes the amount of data that needs to be remapped to different servers. - Source: dev.to / about 2 years ago
