    I built a SQLite VFS in Rust that serves cold queries directly from S3 with sub-second performance, and often much faster. It’s called turbolite. It is experimental, buggy, and may corrupt data. I would not trust it with anything important yet. I wanted to explore whether object storage has gotten fast enough to support embedded databases over cloud storage. Filesystems reward tiny random reads and in-place mutation. S3 rewards fewer requests, bigger transfers, immutable objects, and aggressively parallel operations where bandwidth is often the real constraint. This was explicitly inspired…

    Hey HN, we want to share HelixDB (https://github.com/HelixDB/helix-db/), a project a college friend and I are working on. It’s a new database that natively intertwines graph and vector types, without sacrificing performance. It’s written in Rust and our initial focus is on supporting RAG. Here’s a video runthrough: https://screen.studio/share/szgQu3yq. Why a hybrid? Vector databases are useful for similarity queries, while graph databases are useful for relationship queries. Each stores data in a way that’s best for its main type of query (e.g.…

    After the release of Feox DB (https://github.com/mehrantsi/feoxdb), I received a number of questions/requests about a potential service layer on top. I spent the last week and created this Redis compatible server for it which required 2 version releases on Feox itself as well. Benchmark: Feox: redis-benchmark -h 127.0.0.1 -p 6379 -t set,get -n 1000000 -r 1000000 -c 50 -P 64 -q SET: 4016064.25 requests per second, p50=0.639 msec GET: 5208333.50 requests per second, p50=0.335 msec Redis: redis-benchmark -h 127.0.0.1 -p 6379 -t set,get -n 1000000 -r 1000000 -c 50 -P 64…

    we've been working on a KV store for the past year or so which is 2-6x faster than Redis (benchmark link below) yet disk persisted! so you get the speed of in-memory KV stores but with disk persistence. To achieve this we've created our custom filesystem that is optimized for our special usecase and we're doing smart batching for writes and predictive fetching for reads. In addition to basic operations, it also provides atomic inc/dec, atomic json patch, range scans and a unique key monitoring mechanism (pub-sub) over WebSockets which essentially allows you to receive notification on…

    PicoMQ is a Rust server for Durable Streams, built on Object Store. Cheap, URL-addressable, granular streams (create/append/read/long-poll/SSE), with Pico Protocol or Durable Streams Protocol as the facade. S3Stream is the stream storage primitive, used in AutoMQ, shipped as a Rust library. Coordination is a command log in Postgres.

    Hi, HN! As a cofounder of Couchbase, I pioneered mobile sync, and I’ve always wanted to bring the speed and reliability of local-first data to the web, incubating PouchDB among other efforts. I learned the constraints of real world financial applications at McKinsey & Company FinLab, and Merkle integrity research at Protocol Labs taught me smart contract data structures. As part of the JavaScript community (and early hosting provider for NPM) I’ve been waiting, and now with the availability of APIs like Passkeys and Origin Private Filesystem, I’m happy to say the browser is ready to support…

    As the creator of TerarkDB (acquired by ByteDance in 2019), I have developed ToplingDB in recent years. ToplingDB is forked from RocksDB, where we have replaced almost all components with more efficient alternatives(db_bench shows ToplingDB is about ~8x faster than RocksDB): * MemTable: SkipList is replaced by CSPP(Crash Safe Parallel Patricia trie), which is 8x faster. * SST: BlockBasedTable is replaced by ToplingZipTable, implemented by searchable compression algo, it is very small and fast, typically less than 1μs per lookup: * Keys/Indexes are compressed using NestLoudsTrie(a…

    We'd like to show you Storex, a database abstraction layer that allows you to move your database interaction code between client- and server-side. By surrounding it with modular, recombinable packages for common problems such as schema migrations, it's possible to re-use logic touching the database across a wide variety of databases, allowing you to develop your code entirely in-browser in your daily development workflow, and then move your database to PostgreSQL/MySQL back-end once you're ready. Storex was designed modularly enough to easily be adapted to mBaaS like Firebase, which is…
