Hot updates
- dbt 1.0.0 released
- dbt is gaining popularity
- Great instrument which solves really existing problem
- RedisJSON is out for public preview https://redis.com/blog/redisjson-public-preview-performance-benchmarking/
- Need to have Redis 6.x or later
probably a good point to talk once again that - RedisJSON* is faster than MongoDB and ElasticSearch on direct read, write, and update workloads.
- available in Redis Cloud
or you can always buuild it yourself - Basically a bunch of JSON commands for “native” json experience:
- JSON.SET
- JSON.GET
- JSON.NUMINCRBY
- Client libraries for Go/Node.js/Python/Java/.NET/PHP/Ruby
only Java and Python are official libs
- available in Redis Cloud
- You can index your JSON documents using RediSearch, and you can set it up to update indexes on every write
- Check the benchmarks
- Why community is dissing MongoDB recently? Their SSPL license is to blame
- FerretDB: relevant interesting solution — MongoDB interface over PostgreSQL
- Need to have Redis 6.x or later
- Neo4j 4.4 is out last december
- user impersonation is the main new feature
- All cloud providers have their own graph db
- GCP and AWS provide AuraDB: neo4j managed cloud service
- Amazon Neptune
- Azure CosmosDB
- Neo4j has two main language engines: cypher, gremlin
gremlin is a Java API for Graph DB. Techincally, Gremlin itself is a database engine
…. cypher is a term used to describe freestyle rap in a group setting, which might be something to consider when you search online for cypher tips - Some say cypher looks very Lua-ish
- Neo4j Desktop and a browser interface
additional plugins for easier visualizations/explorations - “I wonder if we could solve this year’s AoC problems with some DB like that”
- O’Relly often gives out their Neo4j book for free
- Why would you ever need a graph database?
Lightning news
- Apache IoTDB 0.12.4
