An article where I go through caching with TidesDB and its integrations like TideSQL for MariaDB and MySQL.

alexpadulaon A new write and space optimized storage engine for MySQL is here

Introducing the first major release of TideSQL for MySQL. A transactional storage engine built from first principles and on modern research that's write and space optimized, highly effective on reads, and offers parity with InnoDB. Do check it out, we would love your thoughts!

alexpadulaon Show HN: Gitdot – A better GitHub. Open-source, written in Rust

I don't get that. https://gitdot.io/bkdevs/gitdot/gitdot-api/CLAUDE.md they use agent files in every repo directory for the gitdot code.

alexpadulaon Show HN: Gitdot – A better GitHub. Open-source, written in Rust

You can write git in any language, I don't see an advantage doing it in Rust besides the community and potential of promotion to that community.

alexpadulaon Show HN: Gitdot – A better GitHub. Open-source, written in Rust

"Better" is a strong word without proven analysis or some kind of statistic, that honestly caught me off-guard as when you state that I expect something like a product like Bitbucket, obviously as you can imagine. Either way, cool project.

It's pretty honest, some times you have to be.

alexpadulaon TidesDB – Fast, persistent, scalable key-value storage for modern systems

Hello HN, I'm the creator of TidesDB, it's an open-source, fast, embeddable key-value storage engine written in C. It supports ACID transactions, 8 language bindings, runs as a MariaDB storage engine (TideSQL), and can operate cloud-native on S3. Would love to hear your thoughts!

Cheers

alexpadulaon We've raised $17M to build what comes after Git

Rather confusing, your name has Git in it, “to build what comes after git”, what comes after your own Git product? Good luck.

Thank you for your comment!

alexpadulaon TideSQL – An alternative storage engine for MariaDB

Hello hn, I’m Alex the creator of TidesDB and over the past few months I’ve been working on putting TidesDB to work inside MariaDB through a plugin which the project is labeled TideSQL.

The project has grown quite a lot where I’d like to share it.

The plugin allows for MariaDB to optimize writes; not leave resources on the table and optionally scale infinitely. In tpc-c benchmarks the plugin shows rather great numbers comparing to MyRocks and InnoDB, you can find this analysis on the TidesDB website.

alexpadulaon TideSQL – A Space-Efficient, Write-Optimized Storage Engine for MariaDB

HN, I’m Alex, lead architect of TidesDB.

TideSQL is our attempt to bring a modern LSM-based storage engine into MariaDB via a pluggable engine, with a focus on parallelism and efficiency.

Happy to answer questions and get feedback.

alexpadulaon I put my whole life into a single database

I thought you created a database from scratch, got me excited! (I’m a db guy)

alexpadulaon MinIO repository is no longer maintained

I don’t feel that way at all. I’ve been maintaining open source storage systems for few years. I love it. Absolutely love it. I maintain TidesDB it’s a storage engine. I also have back pain but that doesn’t mean you can’t do what you love.

alexpadulaon Show HN: TidesDB – A persistent key-value store optimized for modern hardware

TidesDB is a storage engine, you use it to build databases. It's persistent and built on a log-structured-merge tree (LSM) with modern research incorporated such as

* Spooky - Granulating LSM-Tree Compactions Correctly

* WiscKey - Key-value seperation

TidesDB has cache layers such as a clock block cache but it's mainly a persistent layer and a library.

I also have a presentation on TidesDB you can find here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7HROlAaiGVQ

Memcached is a cache, TidesDB is an engine for building databases, think a game engine for building games like say Unity.

Thank you. Do have dive into the code, documentation, and articles on the website, may further peak your interests!

alexpadulaon Show HN: ShapedQL – A SQL engine for multi-stage ranking and RAG

Fairly easy to extend SQLite, Postgres and MariaDB/MySQL!

Curious what relational database do you @refset use? Is the code open source? Is the engine from scratch? What general dialect does it support?

Cheers!
