With the recent announcements about #Redis licensing, it's time to look for alternatives, and if you thought Redis was a fast key/value store, it's definitely time to discover Global Storage databases - eg 2.3 million k/v reads/sec? Find out more here: github.com/robtweed/mg-sh…

Jarred Sumner You might find of interest, especially the YottaDB part?

Our fastest web platform database connectivity solution is mg-web configured to work natively with the open source YottaDB database: 66k database requests/sec on an M1 Mac Mini. Configured for JS/Node.js access to YottaDB, it’s still a respectable 59k/sec.

To put these figures into context: they are faster than Fastify+Node.js when running simple “do-nothing” hello world benchmarks (ie without any database attached) on the same hardware. Shame we can’t yet run comparisons on Bun: waiting for a networking feature

The YDBSupport script captures the most useful support metadata. It works on Linux systems with both YottaDB and GT.M. You can download it from gitlab.com/YottaDB/Util/Y… and it is documented at docs.yottadb.com/Plugins/ydbsup…

Octo now supports date and time types, and we are able to extend it to add support for specialized formats that your applications may use. We have blogged about it at yottadb.com/dates-and-time… #dates #times #SQL

I will be giving a talk starting from the origins of MUMPS through YottaDB (at least, whatever fits in 30 minutes + 15 minutes questions) at 12noon EDT on Wed, Sep 4. You can sign up at documentdatabase.org/event/a-key-va… #nosql

Kurt Le Breton is a YottaDB user from Australia. His first guest blog post, titled “Bid Wars,” that was triggered by a conversation that he had with #ChatGPT about YottaDB, is at yottadb.com/bid-wars/ #NoSQL #TransactionProcessing

A friend pointed me to dodcio.defense.gov/Open-Source-So… and it is one of the best FAQs I have seen on #opensource software.

I was a recent guest on the #ForkAroundandFindOut podcast (fafo.fm/writing-bugs-w…). It was so much fun talking about technology that we didn't get much into YottaDB till around minute 41.

The YottaDB code base now has functionality to encode and decode local and global variable (sub)trees as #JSON strings. It uses the popular #Jansson library; packages are available for common Linux distributions. The functionality is currently documented in a Draft Release Note.
