What Hacker News says

8 sources
postgres is adequately efficient technology from last millennium, but at the level of execution efficiency it's pretty much the same as oracle, maybe a bit worse more recent systems like impala, spark, kafka, cassandra, leveldb, influxdb, rocksdb, duckdb, monetdb, lmdb, sqlite, parquet, hbase, etc., are a lot more efficient at execution efficiency, though in many cases that's only 'up to such-and-such a scale' or 'above such-and-such a scale' or 'for such-and-such use cases'. there's a perhaps too comprehensive overview of the scene at https://github.com/newTendermint/awesome-bigdata but the big business inefficiency with oracle is not technical, it's the human problem of not having control over your core business processes or the ability to continue carrying them out if, when oracle says 'jump', you say anything but 'how high?'

_fault : > A [Byzantine fault] is a condition of a computer system, particularly distributed computing systems, where components may fail and there is imperfect information on whether a component has failed. The term takes its name from an allegory, the "Byzantine Generals Problem",[2] developed to describe a situation in which, in order to avoid catastrophic failure of the system, the system's actors must agree on a concerted strategy, but some of these actors are unreliable. awesome-bigdata lists a number of tools: https://github.com/onurakpolat/awesome-bigdata Practically, dask.distributed (joblib -> SLURM,), dask ML, dask-labextension (a JupyterLab extension for dask), and the Rapids.ai tools (e.g. cuDF) scale from one to many nodes.
In Ask HN: Learning about distributed systems?
1) Design the reports you want. Pay special attention to interactive elements like filters and drilldowns. List all dimensions and metrics you need. Think about privacy. 2) Find your visualisation tool of choice. This is more important than any architecture choice for the tracking because this makes your data useable. [1] 3) Select your main data storage that is compatible with your visualisation tool, data size, budget, servers, security, ... SQL is always better because it has a schema the vis tools can work with. For a low amount of data you might just want to use your existing database (if you have one) and not build up new infrastructure that has to be maintained. 4) If you need higher availability on the data ingress than your db can provide use a high availability streaming ingress [2] to buffer the data. 5) Design a schema to conn

ect your db to the visualisation tool. Also think about how you will evolve this schema in the future. (Simplest thing in sql is: Add colunms.) I hope this helps. If you have selected some tools it is fairly easy to search for blog posts and tech talks. But don't think to big (data). "A few thousands users" and "two dozen parameters" may be handled with postgres and metabase. Also in most enterprise enviroments there already exists a data analytics / data science stack that is covered by SLAs and accepted by privacy officers. Ask around.
