Can we at least have mobile data please

They have traditionally been part of Yahoo and just spun out

Got it (now you've got me going down the rabbit hole here reading things like https://stackoverflow.com/questions/60226215/why-segment-mer... ). I think the key question is whether a healthy index in operation

But in a sense doesn't that lend credence to the idea that the closer the indexing is happening to where the data is born, there may be some natural advantages?

I am curious, do you see a lot of transactional / high velocity updates to vector embeddings in an underlying operational database system? Guess we'll see more of that in future and still at the beginning? I ask b/c you descr

That's not been my experience with distributed technologies. Are you referring to postgres on an oversaturated system?
607.
by redwood 3y ago
Absolutely this is par for the course for distributed engines.. just not postgres and other single node engines which a lot of people here will tell you are all you need.. what they mean is that's all you need until you either have to

Not if you expect to do a bunch of data transformation before you materialize it into one of these engines.. if the way you want a materialize it is materially different than the way you handle it transactionally you're going to be mov

What's interesting about graph is that it's really an ad hoc analytics use case ... it's not for operational / transactional.. this is what most people don't realize. If you have an at scale graph workload, like for

by redwood 3y ago
Single node database systems that are not horizontally scalable and that are not built on a distributed system foundation (e.g. Postgres) will certainly have scaling bottlenecks if you just add more and more complexity to the workload... ho

Strip mining requires fertile hills to mine I suppose.

by redwood 3y ago
The other thing I think is so interesting is how Microsoft refers to these databases as their "open source" strategy. The amount of Open Source-washing Microsoft gets away with with its strip mining is so out of control to me. I&#

I'm surprised to hear you say that, VM and storage primitives seem incredibly unreliable though they have been progressing

This type of behavior feels like it should be looked through an anti-competitive scrutiny lens

If you've had the chance to build with either of their two major competitors, the difference is night and day in terms of quality

So why not Google Cloud?

Backwards compatibility in connection with the headline above is interesting

I'm curious if anyone is using their non-CDN or security products in production? What kind of things have you been doing?

Honest question, would anyone in their right mind choose Azure? Is it that folks are forced because the company's locked in or stuck on that platform?

What happens when you ask about Tiananmen Square and 1989?

But Amazon is mentioned and Amazon owns AWS and many of the abuses described with respect to the e-commerce marketplace are also relevant to the AWS marketplace. I hear you on how they are not directly and literally mentioned in the text ex
622.
by redwood 3y ago
Is that explicitly the case? Because the same antics apply to the marketplace and the copying of ecosystem participant services there too..
623.
by redwood 3y ago
There is a large community of folks that simply can't stand your employer. I hate to break that to you. The anti-competitive antics and open source washing has no end

This space is thr ultimate in premature optimization and obsession or implementation details (including the classic "it's written in programming language X so it has to be better") with relatively little real world experienti

Sure just do a Google search and you will see that a user searching for the database is going to get routed to the clone in the AWS organic and sponsored results

If they move south because of major climate changes in the northern hemisphere, that would be a materially different driver for moving towards Africa than moving East across Asia...

Right and it continues to sow confusion in the community

But Amazon did copy the software and continues to sow confusion in the community about which is which

by redwood 3y ago
You mean AWS can't deliver this as a service so it's not open source? That's an interpretation and not gospel
