comdb2

So much has changed since that time. There's a great recent talk by Jason Williams and Paul Williams that goes into a lot of detail [1]. Most things now use TypeScript developed natively in VS Code using extensions and a CLI for the additional proprietary bits. That all nicely integrates with agentic workflows, skills, etc. ComDb2 is very relational, very battle-as-in-jepsen-tested and has been open-source for a long time now [2]. C++ is still king, but there's plenty of Python, Go, Rust, Haskell, OCaml, etc. running around. [1]: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y1MCLZm8yAY [2]: https://github.com/bloomberg/comdb2

Speaking of databases, has anyone run Bloomberg's db (https://github.com/bloomberg/comdb2) recently?

Yes, and our database, ComDb2, was open-sourced. It still powers the company today. And yes, we use TCP/IP :) And yes, we still have one of the largest private networks in the world. https://github.com/bloomberg/comdb2

Bloomberg [1] uses SQLite in a custom distributed RDBMS engine of theirs in a way I lack the knowledge to completely understand its design. I remember Richard Hipp mentioning Bloomberg in one of his interviews (don't ask me which one, I don't remember), that they use SQLite to serve billions of bank transaction on a daily basis without a problem. [1] https://github.com/bloomberg/comdb2 Update: I have found the following paper that describes the engine in greater detail: http://www.vldb.org/pvldb/vol9/p1377-scotti.pdf

> That being said, if your website has crazy "web scale" FAANGesque needs and you're at the point where you need to write your own replicated datastore, using SQLite as a base and building your own replication layer on top of it (or using RQLite and maybe adjusting it for your needs) seems like a reasonable way to go. Exactly what Bloomberg did with Comdb2: https://github.com/bloomberg/comdb2

Wow, thats: https://github.com/bloomberg/comdb2 Looks interesting. Any experience using it in real projects?

How this compare with https://github.com/bloomberg/comdb2 that adds stored procedures using LUA scripting language and decimal types ?

It’s neat although there is no sql front end. Bloomberg’s comdb2 was open sourced recently https://github.com/bloomberg/comdb2 - it seems similar, but would be interesting to see comparison.
