bbolt VS cockroach

Based on this [GitHub document](https://github.com/etcd-io/bbolt) for BBoltDB, we can understand that Go Code be used to create a BBoltDB database on the system. The key-values added & operations done on them in that Go Code are stored in the BBoltDB database.

A Locker is a store on your file system (built on top of the amazing bbolt).

- bbolt for storage on disk. In order to get the smallest db file size possible make sure you insert the keys in order and set:

I'm wanting to store some wasm modules (as []byte) in BoltDB. Right now the modules are <1MB, but eventually, they could be 10-50MB in size. Is this going to reduce the performance of BoltDB all around, if the size of a value is this large? If it makes a difference, I'm using the Storm toolkit for querying.

bbolt - An embedded key/value database for Go.

For learning goroutines and channels, I usually recommend writing a program that reads from files and writes the data in a dummy database with something like https://github.com/etcd-io/bbolt. It's relatively simple and you're more likely to run into common manifestations of concurrency issues running disk operations.

If you would like to explore usage of channels, I highly recommend writing a program that reads from files and writes the data in a dummy database with something like https://github.com/etcd-io/bbolt.

No transactions, no consistency guarantees, no benchmarks, global locks in the storage implementation, a collection is copied in its entirety on every insertion to it...I realize it's not for the same use case as MySQL or MongoDB, but a more obvious comparison here is e.g. https://github.com/etcd-io/bbolt. So why should someone use this over bbolt?

use go-sqlite3 to work with sqlite3 is one choice.

https://github.com/etcd-io/bbolt is another pure go option.

cznic seems like an alternative to bbolt. nice to have some options.

CockroachDB is an open source distributed SQL database designed for scalability and resilience. While it offers SQL databases, CockroachDB is also compatible with PostgreSQL.

cockroachdb might be close: https://github.com/cockroachdb/cockroach

CockroachDB - SQL

For example, when you create a serverless postgres database with a platform like CockroachDB or Neon, you effectively get a connection string with a strong password. Anyone can connect to your database from anywhere so long as they have the right connection string. There are no security settings in these services to change this behavior.

> Yes you can on the android emulator. The biggest issue is compu arch in that case.

I can also download VirtualBox and run all Windows programs, that would mean that all Windows apps are Linux apps?

> Yes you can for the most part

You can't statically link glibc: https://github.com/cockroachdb/cockroach/issues/3392

glibc can break stuff: https://www.gamingonlinux.com/2022/08/valve-dev-understandab...

I had binaries break because the newer version if openssl was put under a slightly different name.

Also, worth noting, if you're already using PostgreSQL (or plan to) you might want to take a look at https://www.cockroachlabs.com/ they have a free tier too and CockroachDB has a PostgreSQL interface.

I know that some projects like cockroach use custom build tools like bazel. But we actually really like to use to be able to build our projects simply with the great go toolchain and don't really aim to dive deep into custom build solutions.

CockroachDB is designed to be globally distributed. It has to handle causality when resolving collisions. It has to account for having a write operation to arrive after another and still have time priority because it was sent out a few milliseconds earlier.

Cockroachdb created a go runtime patch which measures the Grunning time of a goroutine: https://github.com/cockroachdb/cockroach/pull/82356. It doesn't entirely solve the problem though.

Our entire backend is written in Go. We've built a platform that allows other companies to offer automatic data syncing to their customers' data warehouses. Go works great for building distributed systems like this (see K8s). We're not the only ones in the space building data intensive applications with Go. Pachyderm, Pinecone, Cockroach Labs and are all also doing it. We've been quite happy with how Go has worked for us.
