Given the availability of open source solutions why would I in 2018 build a critical part of my application on a closed platform?
Genuinely not intended as snark, I'm just curious why memsql is so compelling that I would consider it.
- _up 8y agoThere is also Tarantool which is another in-memory/SQL DB and is Open Source. https://github.com/tarantool/tarantool https://github.com/tarantool/tarantool
- _eht 8y agoI would also like to see a response to this.
- dangoor 8y agoIsn't that what the previous answer was trying to say? Paraphrasing "MemSQL has these features which we think Apache Ignite and others do not." All things being equal, I agree that open source solutions are the best. Things are just not always equal.
