Founder of DoltHub here. One of my team pointed me at this thread. Congrats on the launch. Great to see more folks tackling the data versioning problem. Dolt hasn't come up here yet, probably because we're focused on OLTP use cases, not MLOps, but we do have some customers using Dolt as the backing store for their training data. https://github.com/dolthub/dolt Dolt also scales to the 1TB range and offers you full SQL query capabilities on your data and diffs.

Versioned pages backed by content-addressed store and transactions over the page index rather than pages! That totally makes sense to me. Before you managed to produce mvsqlite, I was wondering if it is possible to rebase https://github.com/dolthub/dolt content-addressed page store(implemented with ProllyTree over a standard OS FS) onto FDB, so that there will be a MySQL-compat DB with similar properties to mvsqlite where actual page updates can be done outside FDB transactions to overcome 5sec FDB limit. Apparently, you already materialized a similar idea in a more sophisticated, practical, and complete way. Thanks a lot for clarifying and keep up the great work. Your work is totally awesome!

Show HN: Hosted Dolt Released

Hi all, CEO of DoltHub here. We just released Hosted Dolt: a cloud hosted version of Dolt. https://hosted.doltdb.com/ For those of you new to Dolt (https://github.com/dolthub/dolt). Dolt is like Git and MySQL had a baby. We built a SQL database from the storage engine up to support branch, merge, clone, diff and all the other Git idioms. Hosted Dolt is ideal for building Dolt backed applications. The primary use cases our customers use Dolt for are (1) backing machine learning pipelines or (2) building applications that provide Git-style version control to the application's customers. But we can imagine many others. More information in our launch blog: https://www.dolthub.com/blog/2022-05-18-hosted-dolt/
