Aerospike VS PostgreSQL

Aerospike for LINQPad 7 is a data context dynamic driver for interactively querying and updating an Aerospike database using “LINQPad”. The driver is free. For more information go to this blog post. You can directly download the driver from the LINQPad NuGet manager.

Aerospike is a real-time cloud structured platform with good performance capabilities. This IMDB platform allows enterprises to perform their operations in real time through the hybrid memory and parallelism model.

Block storage stores a sequence of bytes in a fixed size block (page) on a storage device. Each block has a unique hash that references the address location of the specified block. Unlike a filesystem, block storage doesn't have the associated metadata such as format-type, owner, date, etc. Also, block storage doesn’t use the conventional storage paths to access data like a filesystem file. This reduction in overhead contributes to improved overall access speeds when using raw block devices. The ability to store bytes in blocks allows applications the flexibility to decide how these blocks are accessed and managed, making block storage an ideal choice for low latency databases such as Aerospike. From a developer's perspective, a block device is simply a large array of bytes, usually with some minimum granularity for reads and writes. In Aerospike this granularity is configured and referred to as the write-block-size. The Aerospike Kubernetes Operator uses the storage infrastructure software inside of Kubernetes and the need for data platforms to use raw block storage becomes ever more important.

This example shows how the Aerospike database can be easily and scalably used to store industrial time series data made available by the MQTT ecosystem. Aerospike plus its Community Time Series Client streamlines the storage and retrieval of the data, supporting the ability to both write and read millions of data points per second if required.

Real-time large-scale JSON applications need reliably fast access to data, high ingest rates, powerful queries, rich document functionality, scalability with no practical limit, always-on operation, and integration with streaming and analytical platforms. They need all this at low cost. The Aerospike Real-time Data Platform provides all this functionality, making it a good choice for building such applications. The Collection Data Types (CDTs) in Aerospike provide powerful support for modeling, organizing, and querying a large JSON document store. Visit the tutorials and code sandbox on the Developer Hub to explore the capabilities of the platform, and play with the Document API and query capabilities for JSON.

Every time I buy a new computer, the first thing I install is the servers for MySql and Postgres, the two most common databases. This way, I can start the databases with a simple command like this:

Data Handling: Utilizes Windmill for data pipelines, with a primary database powered by PostgreSQL. Auxiliary data storage is handled by MongoDB, with Redis for caching to optimize performance

PostgreSQL

The LMS Moodle Operator serves as a meta-operator, orchestrating the deployment and management of Moodle instances in Kubernetes. It handles the entire stack required to run Moodle, including components like Postgres, Keydb, NFS-Ganesha, and Moodle itself. Each of these components has its own Kubernetes Operator, ensuring seamless integration and management.

Another key feature of txtai is being able to quickly move from prototyping to production. This article will demonstrate how txtai can integrate with Postgres, a powerful, production-ready and open source object-relational database system. After txtai persists content to Postgres, we'll show it can be directly queried with SQL from any Postgres client

SQL (Structured Query Language) databases are relational databases. They organize data into tables with rows and columns, and they use SQL for querying and managing data. Examples include MySQL, PostgreSQL, and SQLite.

Each app’s front end is built with Qwik and uses Tailwind for styling. The server-side is powered by Qwik City (Qwik’s official meta-framework) and runs on Node.js hosted on a shared Linode VPS. The apps also use PM2 for process management and Caddy as a reverse proxy and SSL provisioner. The data is stored in a PostgreSQL database that also runs on a shared Linode VPS. The apps interact with the database using Drizzle, an Object-Relational Mapper (ORM) for JavaScript. The entire infrastructure for both apps is managed with Terraform using the Terraform Linode provider, which was new to me, but made provisioning and destroying infrastructure really fast and easy (once I learned how it all worked).
