What is Greenplum Database? Intro to the Big Data Database

Scalegrid

MAY 13, 2020

Greenplum Database is a massively parallel processing (MPP) SQL database that is built and based on PostgreSQL. It can scale towards a multi-petabyte level data workload without a single issue, and it allows access to a cluster of powerful servers that will work together within a single SQL interface where you can view all of the data.

JANUARY 20, 2023

Having a distributed and scalable graph database system is highly sought after in many enterprise scenarios. Do Not Be Misled Designing and implementing a scalable graph database system has never been a trivial task.

What is a Distributed Storage System

Scalegrid

FEBRUARY 8, 2024

Key Takeaways Distributed storage systems benefit organizations by enhancing data availability, fault tolerance, and system scalability, leading to cost savings from reduced hardware needs, energy consumption, and personnel. Variations within these storage systems are called distributed file systems.

In-Stream Big Data Processing

Highly Scalable

AUGUST 20, 2013

The shortcomings and drawbacks of batch-oriented data processing were widely recognized by the Big Data community quite a long time ago. This system has been designed to supplement and succeed the existing Hadoop-based system that had too high latency of data processing and too high maintenance costs.

Redis vs Memcached in 2024

Scalegrid

MARCH 28, 2024

In this comparison of Redis vs Memcached, we strip away the complexity, focusing on each in-memory data store’s performance, scalability, and unique features. Redis is better suited for complex data models, and Memcached is better suited for high-throughput, string-based caching scenarios.

Should You Use ClickHouse as a Main Operational Database?

Percona

JANUARY 14, 2019

What if we use ClickHouse (which is a columnar analytical database) as our main datastore? Well, typically, an analytical database is not a replacement for a transactional or key/value datastore. However, ClickHouse is super efficient for timeseries and provides “sharding” out of the box (scalability beyond one node).

NoSQL Data Modeling Techniques

Highly Scalable

MARCH 1, 2012

NoSQL databases are often compared by various non-functional criteria, such as scalability, performance, and consistency. At the same time, NoSQL data modeling is not so well studied and lacks the systematic theory found in relational databases. The second one is database-managed indexes, at least in some implementations.
