Great resource - after appreciating the power of prolog as a database query language, graduates can move immediately to see that idea in action: https://github.com/terminusdb/terminusdb

To my mind, the point of databases is to provide as accurate a representation of some aspect of external reality as possible. The advantage of graph databases is that they model the world as things that have properties and relationships wit

that's true, but they get more money at better valuations so it balances out -> and engineer headcount is a bad predictor of success! It is as much the experience of taking a database/dev tool and going big that's lacking

It was successful - just painful. And we found really great investors in the end. Will drop you a note!

Thanks! My reply looks a little bleak, but it was a successful seed round raise (TerminusDB). We are doing fine and the future is bright, it just took months of blood, sweat, and tears to close. Struggle is good (sometimes)...

Great post. After just going through a 6 month, pain-filled fund raise for an open source database (big on integration), this is probably the most upsetting thing I have ever read in my life. Far away from Silicon Valley with no flashy cred

You are correct!

Good point - and why a graph based approach has advantages in some use cases (disclaimer TerminusDB co-founder here). Allows more flexibility in versioning relationships and more scope to merge in the scenario you outline.

thanks for the mention of TerminusDB ( https://github.com/terminusdb/terminusdb ) -> we are the graph cousins of Dolt. Great to see so much energy in the version control database world! We are currently focused on dat

Really interesting article - would be very fascinated to hear any detail on use cases for hashing an immutable database. In TerminusDB we have built an immutable DB based on these (our storage implemented in Rust [1]) principles and are now

Were there some serious mental gymnastics coming from Fivetran yesterday, or am I missing something? The CEO had a data lake hit piece in Forbes ('The Business Case For Ditching Your Data Lake'[1]) and almost simultaneously author

This is the sense in which I was using Datalog - and how others like Datomic, Grakn and Crux use it (there is a growing movement of databases with a 'Datalog' query language) - althou in our case, we can also use in the former sen

We built a new semantic database first in university and then commercial open source (TerminusDB). We use the web ontology language (OWL) as a schema language, but made two important - practical - modifications: 1) we dispense with the open

I'm afraid the European monies are all spent! Was in a former life when we were a university progect called ALIGNED. But got us off the ground at least. Very happy to stay in touch! We have a Discord server if you are interested.

Wow - great to see more work in this area. And interesting to see that the Swiss Government is supporting. We’ve been working on a graph/document database with these kind of collaborative revision-control features over at TerminusDB (

There is a Stonebraker quote somewhere (can't find now) that basically says 'give me the workload and I will build you an optimised database'. The point with building a database enterprise is to build something that is suffic

Interesting post - I'm coming from a COSS database perspective (TerminusDB), so talking my book. The point of COSS imho is to create broad value and monetize a percentage of that value. A few points: 1. In database land, there is no ot

AWS have recently invested in DevRel and open-source evangelist type employees (to be found on twitter much of the time). I assume they understand better than anybody that the dev and startup dollar is enormous and crucial to their future s

As far as I can tell, Timescale is not like the others, their shift was to make the formerly proprietary enterprise only code source available. Remarkably they went MORE open rather than less (as it the case for all the others). You have to

Special mention for this paragraph: 'we expect that a few of our competitors will attempt to spread all kinds of FUD around this change. Let me be clear to any naysayers. We believe deeply in the principles of free and open products, a
