Tendis VS minideb

There is a project called Tendis, the architecture of IceFireDB is different from it, but they are all based on disk storage and resp protocol. Thank you for your attention and contact at any time

Does anyone have any experience with these other Redis clones? I need to write a benchmark on these someday (the outline for the blog post is already written), but have restricted my yak shaving recently:

- https://github.com/Netflix/dynomite

On a separate note, is FLASH supposed to be an acronym? I can't tell if they're referring to flash storage (SSD, NVMe) or they're referring to perhaps a special algorithm that uses flash storage +/- some other features, or some altogether proprietary hardware.

However, it is sometimes a good idea to benchmark the speed of different images, as sometimes a significant speed loss is possible.

as is stated initially, that goes back to how bitnami is building its Docker images, basing on a set of debian packages (minideb) - there's also a shell library/framework embedded that does useful things, but that makes you read more code when you go check how the sausage is made. That minideb is the basis for the higher CVE count compared to scratch or alpine images.

the maintainer side most casual docker image users aren't aware of I'd rephrase, but bitnami at least documents the issue

Ah, yeah it's a little more confusing because it's using the debootstrap tool (https://wiki.debian.org/Debootstrap) to build the container image filesystem. You can see all the gory logic here: https://github.com/bitnami/minideb/blob/master/buildone and https://github.com/bitnami/minideb/blob/master/mkimage It's a bunch of shell scripting that's not really meant to be interpreted by anyone that isn't a debian expert though, so don't feel bad if it looks really confusing. I think the overall thing is that minideb installs the absolute bare minimum system with debootstrap and even strips out a few essential packages like trusted SSL CAs, etc. If you need anything (including those essential packages) you're meant to just install_packages install them--it's all using the same apt sources and packages as debian.

Do you know why this is? Because it's part of the base file system. Here is a line from the build script for minideb (basically the smallest image needed to run a container): https://github.com/bitnami/minideb/blob/e4f37e8a5d271d93b79c3f4caa49c4ceb95d8eec/mkimage#L52
