  • What's the big deal about key-value databases like FoundationDB ands RocksDB?
    6 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 23 Aug 2022
    No I don't think that's relevant. They implement their own btree it seems [0].

    They don't use a key-value store library.

    I know it's a bit of a fine line. But I'm talking about standalone libraries people embed across different applications/databases. That's what RocksDB/LevelDB/Pebble are.

    https://rethinkdb.com/ might be a possibility, it would still require a separate docker (or bundling with the audioserve docker) but looks less complicated than Supabase.

  • Servo Engine Contributions this year – Don't let it die
    10 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 1 Jul 2021
    Continuing an open source project that used to be sponsored (paid developers) as a non-sponsored project is always very hard.

    The code base, project structure, automated tests, etc. is all sized for a certain number of developers. When 90% of them are gone it'll be hard to keep up.

    Feels somewhat similar to the faith of RethinkDB, which was an awesome database in many regards, but it was difficult to keep the steam up after the sponsoring company shut down.

    One thing that may work, is if Servo tries to carve out a very narrow niche, much smaller than just "general browser", where they are unique and useful.

    Take embedding as an example. If Servo because a great choice for embedding (similar to WebViews or Electron), where there is usually a single set of CSS and JS that it's expected to run (basically a bundled app), the downsides of servo not supporting all Web APIs, or not handling all edge cases, is reduced. Basically, if it runs your code, that's enough.

    So it'll probably be "useful" (regardless of where you put the bar for useful) earlier in an embedding context, compared to it being useful as a general browser.

    Should it catch on as a tool for embedding, that would drive more usage and more contributions, which would be a beneficial circle.

    But this niche could also be something entirely different, of course, I'm not sure embedding is the one.
