OrioleDB Beta12 Features and Benchmarks
Hey HN, I'm the creator of OrioleDB, an extension for PostgreSQL that serves as a drop-in replacement for the default Heap storage engine. It is designed to address scalability bottlenecks in PostgreSQL's buffer manager and reduce the WAL, enabling better utilization of modern multi-core CPUs and high‑performance storage systems. We are getting closer to GA. This release includes: - An index bridge to support all indexes that Heap supports - Support for rewinding recent changes in the database. - Tablespaces support - Fillfactor support - An orioledb_tree_stat() function for space…
In plain words
OrioleDB is a PostgreSQL extension that replaces the default Heap storage engine to improve database scalability. It reduces write-ahead logging overhead and better utilizes modern multi-core processors and high-performance storage. The latest beta release adds support for all index types, database change rewinding, tablespaces, fillfactor configuration, and tables exceeding 32 columns. It includes performance statistics functions and demonstrates speed improvements over standard PostgreSQL in TPC-C benchmarks.

Hey HN, I'm the creator of OrioleDB, an extension for PostgreSQL that serves as a drop-in replacement for the default Heap storage engine. It is designed to address scalability bottlenecks in PostgreSQL's buffer manager and reduce the WAL, enabling better utilization of modern multi-core CPUs and high‑performance storage systems. We are getting closer to GA. This release includes: - An index bridge to support all indexes that Heap supports - Support for rewinding recent changes in the database. - Tablespaces support - Fillfactor support - An orioledb_tree_stat() function for space utilization statistics - Support for tables with more than 32 columns. We also show several performance improvements using the TPC-C benchmarks. Overall, OrioleDB is much faster than Heap, also outperforming other Postgres providers. We would love more people testing OrioleDB. The fastest way to do that is to use the docker image provided: docker run -d --name orioledb -p 5432:5432 orioledb/orioledb Read the full release here: https://www.orioledb.com/blog/orioledb-beta12-benchmarks

Today marks ten years, 3653 consecutive days, of running at least one mile every day under the USRSA rules [1]. To celebrate, I built an interactive dashboard that turns a decade of GPX files into charts you can explore. Running has truly changed my life: I've made lifelong friends, explored beautiful places, and more importantly invested into my own health and fitness, which I'm starting to see the positive benefits as I get older. The stack is pretty simple: a NextJS app, with a Postgres database to keep all my running data, and all the stats are pre-computed and cached in Redis, so I…

Made this website as an exercise in vibe-coding and GCP. It was posted about a few times around the internet, on sites like Morning Brew (https://www.morningbrew.com/issues/business-buzzkill), MetaFilter (https://www.metafilter.com/209703/Draw-A-Fish), boingboing.net, etc. I think it's cute! I built a basic CNN trained against penises and swastikas, and then anything that doesn't hit the 63% confidence score gets sent to a mod queue, a vibe-coded fish-tinder…
