Apache ResilientDB, High-Performance Open-Source Blockchain
Hey Hacker News! We've been building Apache ResilientDB (incubating), a lightweight, modular, and high-performance open-source blockchain framework written in C++. Recently accepted into the Apache Incubator, ResilientDB is designed for flexibility, supporting various Byzantine Fault-Tolerant (BFT) and Crash Fault-Tolerant (CFT) consensus protocols, with native PBFT integration. With features like dynamic client-server architecture, robust checkpoint/recovery, and smart contract support, ResilientDB aims to push distributed ledger tech further.

Global-Scale Sustainable Blockchain Fabric
The inception of Bitcoin and blockchain has renewed the vision of a democratic and decentralized computational paradigm. This vision aims to integrate privacy, integrity, transparency, and accountability directly into the computational model. At the heart of this paradigm shift lies a family of fault-tolerant consensus protocols. Historically, these have struggled to meet the performance demands of modern applications, signaling a need for evolution. To address these challenges, Apache ResilientDB (Incubating) has boldly reimagined the blockchain fabric through a scale-centric lens. Our complete redesign incorporates parallelism and deep pipelining at every layer, optimizing for modern…from resilientdb.incubator.apache.org

A bunch of developers and myself have created RepliByte - an open-source tool to seed a development database from a production database. Features: - Support data backup and restore for PostgreSQL, MySQL and MongoDB - Replace sensitive data with fake data - Works on large database (> 10GB) (read Design) - Database Subsetting: Scale down a production database to a more reasonable size - Start a local database with the prod data in a single command - On-the-fly data (de)compression (Zlib) - On-the-fly data de/encryption (AES-256) - Fully stateless (no server, no daemon) and lightweight…
- DADriftDB – an open source WebSocket backend for real-time apps2023 · driftdb.com · ▲367
Hey HN! I’ve written a bunch of WebSocket servers over the years to do simple things like state synchronization, WebRTC signaling, and notifying a client when a backend job was run. I realized that if I had a simple way to create a private, temporary, mini-redis that the client could talk to directly, it would save a lot of time. So we created DriftDB. In addition to the open source server that you can run yourself, we also provide https://jamsocket.live where you can use an instance we host on Cloudflare’s edge (~13ms round trip latency from my home in NY). You may have seen my…

HelixDB – Open-source vector-graph database for AI applications (Rust)2025 · github.com · ▲237Hey 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.…

Talanoa▲346Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…
