Show HN: Dbeel – A distributed thread-per-core db For a while now I had the urge to learn how to pick the "right" database for projects, I looked around online at different databases to try to understand their different traits, and was bombarded with marketing instead of actual info on the advantages and drawbacks. The only solution for me was to learn some database internals (I read the wonderful book written by Alex Petrov), and the problems seemed so interesting, I could not fight the urge and went ahead with trying to write my own db. Anyway, ~9 months have passed and I feel like I'm "done", I have learned a ton, and really proud of dbeel. Now I can pick a database and way more easily understand what are its most defining traits. Some short time in the future, I will release a blog post or something, where I will write about the fundamental problems you need to solve when writing a performant data system like a database, so stay tuned :) https://ift.tt/IZ2nGeN January 11, 2024 at 02:23AM
