    > Yeah! I mean, I find a lot of linearizability errors in various databases, but this was also my very first time doing this kind of test, and it varies from system to system. Could have easily slipped through the cracks.

    In summary, aphyr thought Zookeeper is linearizable even though it doesn't provide linearizable ops.

    Looks like Zookeeper needs to be tested again.

  • Choosing Between a Streaming Database and a Stream Processing Framework in Python
    10 projects | dev.to | 10 Feb 2024
    Stream-processing platforms such as Apache Kafka, Apache Pulsar, or Redpanda are specifically engineered to foster event-driven communication in a distributed system and they can be a great choice for developing loosely coupled applications. Stream processing platforms analyze data in motion, offering near-zero latency advantages. For example, consider an alert system for monitoring factory equipment. If a machine's temperature exceeds a certain threshold, a streaming platform can instantly trigger an alert and engineers do timely maintenance.

    Yeah it’s just the stack switching itself that is a handful of cycles, but there is not much more overhead for the full VM switch if you structure your embedding the right way. Code the code is source available if you want to peek at it!

    that's a littlebit of a stretch. when you say "no shortage" - outside of redpanda what product exists that actually compete in all deployment modes?

    it's a misconception that redpanda is simply a better kafka. the way to think about it is that is a new storage engine, from scratch, that speaks the kafka protocol. similar to all of the pgsql companies in a different space, i.e.: big table pgsql support is not a better postgres, fundamentally different tech. you can read the src and design here: https://github.com/redpanda-data/redpanda. or an electric car is not the same as a combustion engine, but only similar in that they are cars that take you from point a to point b.

    I suggest you check out io_uring and thread per core architecture. Applications like scylladb and redpanda have thread per core architecture and use io_uring for async io.
