Yeah, interestingly StarRocks was originally a fork from Doris, but these days it tends to outperform in most of the use cases I’ve read up on.

Curious, you mention Doris. I wonder if you've tried looking into StarRocks?

Good stuff, always happy to see StarRocks get some recognition. Always surprised when I talk to folks who haven't heard of them.

YES!! Normalization was the BEST PRACTICE since DBMS was invented in like the 70s, and somehow, we just totally forgot about it the past 10 years ago for OLAP. 10x more expensive storage, impossible schema evolution because of data backfilling, the extra pipelines you have to build and maintain, and the cost scales with the data size and your business growth. I was just talking with a buddy of mine about this and how to run JOINs on the fly without denormalization pipelines using StarRocks in this case.

I'll always remember Rockset for their ridiculous comparison page: https://rockset.com/real-time-analytics-comparison/
Maybe they should rename it to their migration options page. Or maybe I'll just ask ChatGPT what the best alternative is...
Still, pretty useful stuff, but it also feels like Rockset had been moving a little too slowly in recent years, but congrats to them on finding a new home.

Seconding the StarRocks project, best performance out there and the community is great. Tons of support.
