Another few weeks have gone by and a lot has happened in the data streaming / real-time analytical domains. Starting today, I’ll be adding videos of interviews. As part of our research on “Streaming Databases”, Ralph Debusmann and I are interviewing new and existing players in the real-time streaming space. They are very raw because I suck at video editing (and as a host 😉, I’m no Tim Berglund). Subscribe below.
SUP Dolt!!!
Ralph Debusmann and I interviewed Dolt CEO, Timothy Sehn. Dolt is Git for data, The world's first and only version-controlled SQL database. It’s a new way of thinking about how to share, collaborate, and release data. Watch the interview below.
SUP WarpStream!!
The streaming ecosystem grows with WarpStream. WarpStream is a Kafka protocol-compatible data streaming platform built directly on top of S3. 🤯
If your workload can tolerate a P99 of ~1s of producer-to-consumer latency, then WarpStream can reduce your total data streaming costs by 5-10x per GiB, with almost zero operational overhead.
SUP Redpanda and RisingWave - Non-JVMs makin’ Friends!
That's a SUPER COOL feature!!! Let me try to understand: so redpandadata's tiered storage data will be written and read using Iceberg format, correct? That essentially means, Redpanda will be evolving to a streaming lake house, correct?
That's cool! RisingWaveLabs may be the query engine - we've evaluated RisingWave's SQL on Kafka performance, and the initial result looks very promising! Will evaluate RisingWave SQL on Redpanda!!
Sup Hydra!!!
The company that’s adding columnar storage to Postgres goes open source! We interviewed Joseph Sciarrino (Hydra CEO) a few weeks ago and my take is there’s a lot happening around edge analytics.
SUP Glauber!
I don’t think Glauber knew the great lengths he will have to go through to make Turso successful.
SUP Giannis Polyzos! Flink book coming out soon!!
Giannis gets extremely hands-on with Flink in his book “Stream Processing, Hands On with Apache Flink.” I had the privilege to review the book and I learned a lot!!!
The book is a good reference for devs that are new to Flink. The easier it is to find the answers to their questions the more they will use it as a reference.
Get a preview of it here.
SUP PeerDB!!
PeerDB is an ETL/ELT tool built for PostgreSQL. It enables you to Stream Query Results from a source Postgres database to a target Postgres database.
Definitely, a lot of action at the edge. Replication with transformation in between Postgres databases.
SUP Michael Drogalis!! Good blog “Real-Time Generative AI”
If you’re trying to find a relationship between streaming and GenAI, this is a good one.
SUP Mihai Budiu!! All Databases are Streaming Databases!!!
We’ll be interviewing Mihai and his ideas on streaming databases. Check out his project Feldra project, an all-in-one platform for continuous analytics based on this video below.
SUP Mark! Learn about Rollup Segments in Apache Pinot!
That’s it. I still don’t know how to end a Newsletter.
