HyperDex

There's also a blog post announcement here: http://hack.systems/2016/12/13/hello-consus/ Reading through the post about active development on the predecessor HyperDex: https://github.com/rescrv/HyperDex/issues/233 > I've stopped developing the project for non-public reasons that aren't technically related to the project. Along with this line in the blog post: > not one in which a company with profit motives releases a half-open product, but one in which those interested in Consus can come together to build something better. It seems like there was some friction around the commercial nature of Hyperdex.

For those that are not familiar with Hyperdex[1], it is an open-source, performant, ACID compliant key-value store with commercial support[2] for fully distributed transactions. It seems that Robert Escriva (creator of Hyperdex) is now working on a new database called Consus with the following key differences[3]: “Consus has two (three) differences from HyperDex that I believe will make it more appealing in the long run: 1. Consus doesn't separate the implementations of transactions and the regular code. Once we have a paper public on the topic and I have clearance to release the code, all of the code will be available under the same license, with no commercial fork. 2. Consus provides wide-area, geo-replicated transactions with much lower latency than is possible in any other system I know with the same consistency that Consus provides.
