Hello everyone, was an immense amount of work but I've dropped a new article in which you learn how to deploy TidesDB+MariaDB (TideSQL) on AWS backed with S3 storage, stateless nodes, replication, automatic fail-over and more.
This covers from building your Docker image to testing replication promotion, quite extensive!
I hope you check it out, would love your thoughts
Hello to the community!
I’m Alex the creator of TidesDB. TidesDB is an open-source storage engine optimized for modern hardware built on-top of the LSM architecture. It's been awhile since the ecosystem has seen a full-fledged storage engine, I think the last time might have been InnoDB (1990s-early 2000s). What makes TidesDB different is that it's external to MariaDB, it runs on everything, is completely portable, it's highly optimized for mostly every workload, and designed specifically for the hardware of today, lots of memory, lots of CPU cores 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 at the storage level heavily; 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.
The plugin also offers FTS, spatial, vector and S3 backed tiering for infinite scale.
Would love to answer any questions, or get your thoughts.
Cheers
