This seems interesting but this passage from the readme is a red flag to me:
>You do not have to learn database tuning. KubeBlocks can leverage storage and computing resources to achieve optimal database performance.
No one has ever delivered on this pipe dream.
- ranting-moth 3y agoI think the key word here is "you". You just get it running, hack your spaghetti and when it becomes a problem you're already assigned on another project so someone else will have to sort it out.
- baz00 3y agoAnd that guy is usually me. Just remember when you leave a pool of shit behind, one of the victims might be making a hiring decision about you at some point in the future.
- gabereiser 3y agoRead that last part again folks. Twice if you have to. You will run into the same folks in the industry if you last longer than 10 years.
- theideaofcoffee 3y ago“The industry” extends far beyond and is more than the big tech circle jerk. I’ve bounced around outside of the big tech circus for nearly 15 years now and have -never- unwittingly run into someone I previously worked with. Have I targeted institutions that I know employ people that I've crossed paths with in the past? Yes, deliberately for one reason or another, but never once have I been hired, paged through a company directory and been surprised to the point of "oh, they're here?".
- toasted-subs 3y agoHey man if I run into the same people again I hope they either understand what my situation was. People try to do their best.
- brianmcc 3y agoSo... throw money on compute instead of just adding an index..?
- supersudo 3y agoSeems Kubeblocks provids some parameters templates based on their knowledge on databases. To some extent, it will improve performance. Of course, I don't think users will be totally freed from `database tuning`, which is too complex a topic.
- dijit 3y agoI’m offended that you don’t take even 10 minutes to understand why this will not work. People say they don't need sysadmins and stuff like this is the result. Vertical scalability limits are very soon met and can be difficult to fix post-fact.
- brianmcc 3y agoMy scepticism was clearly not well enough signalled, apologies. To be clear I agree "waste money to avoid applying basic database techniques" is A Bad Thing!
- robertlagrant 3y agoIt's phrased as a joke, no?
- liveoneggs 3y agoThis works when your data fits in L2 cache
- vbezhenar 3y agohttps://www.sqlite.org/pragma.html#pragma_optimize https://www.sqlite.org/pragma.html#pragma_optimize ? If SQLite feels that performing database optimizations (such as running ANALYZE or creating new indexes) will improve the performance of future queries, then some database I/O may be done.
- TalktoCrystal 3y agoTry it and maybe you get a dream-come-true.
- sgarland 3y agoLol glad I’m not the only one who immediately thought “bullshit” when reading that. At best it becomes someone else’s problem, as others here have said.
