I edit a database newsletter –
https://dbweekly.com/ – so tend to always have my eyes out for new releases, what's coming along, and what not. And I thought I'd share a few more things that have jumped out at me recently in case anyone's in the mood for spelunking.
1. QuestDB – https://questdb.io/ – is a performance-focused, open-source time-series database that uses SQL. It makes heavy use of SIMD and vectorization for the performance end of things.
2. GridDB - https://griddb.net/en/ - is an in-memory NoSQL time-series database (there's a theme lately with these!) out of Toshiba that was boasting doing 5m writes per second and 60m reads per second on a 20 node cluster recently.
3. MeiliSearch - https://github.com/meilisearch/MeiliSearch – not exactly a database but basically an Elastic-esque search server written in Rust. Seems to have really taken off.
4. Dolt – https://github.com/liquidata-inc/dolt – bills itself as a 'Git for data'. It's relational, speaks SQL, but has version control on everything.
TerminusDB, KVRocks, and ImmuDB also get honorable mentions.
InfoWorld also had an article recently about 9 'offbeat' databases to check out if you want to go even further: https://www.infoworld.com/article/3533410/9-offbeat-database...
Exciting times in the database space!
