From the releases page it looks like the binaries are indeed around 500MB (some platforms actually exceeding that); granted, I am not that familiar with DBs, but calling a 500 MB binary “lightweight” is a little stretch…
- gangtao 3y ago1. binary and memory consumption are two different concepts 2. if you compared the size of docker image of Flink and Proton, you will get a better understanding here, flink docker image is 500M after compression and proton is 170M. compare to Flink it is much more lightweighted.
- fetzu 3y agoI’m afraid I don’t understand your point: I am not trying to compare Flink to Proton’s docker image sizes; nor do I see how it is relevant. In this case, they are clearly talking about the size of the binary as in “executable of the software you can download”. Both the OP and myself are surprised that a 500MB binary is considered “lightweight”, probably because -even in 2024- “lightweight” should probably still be around the tens of MBs at most.
