mimalloc_rust VS readyset

> I wish Rust would switch to mimalloc or the latest tcmalloc (not the one in gperftools).

That's nonsensical. Rust uses the system allocators for compatibility, not because they're good (they were not when Rust switched away from jemalloc, and they aren't now).

If you want to use mimalloc in your rust programs, you can just set it as global allocator, that takes all of three lines: https://github.com/purpleprotocol/mimalloc_rust#usage

Context: When using mimalloc as global allocator, linking with crt-static fails with the following error:

Use an optimized memory allocator, my choice is mimalloc. It wins every time I compare it, even against jemalloc (not to mention it supports arena hardening which is good for security).

Version 0.1.19 of the Rust wrapper for the mimalloc memory allocator has just been released!

I'll mention that mimalloc (+ Rust wrapper) is great alternative to jemalloc.

- Some platforms like Supabase Realtime [3] and Firebase offer subscription models to database changes, but these solutions fall short when dealing with complex queries involving joins or group-bys.

My vision is that the modern frontend to behave like a series of materialized views that dynamically update as the underlying data changes. Current state management libraries handle state trees well but don't seamlessly integrate with relational or graph-like database structures.

The only thing I can think of is to implement it by myself, which sounds like a big PITA.

Anything goes, Brainstorm with me. Is it causing you headaches as well? Are you familiar with an efficient solution? how are you all tackling it?

I just wanted to give a high five for having Jepsen tests for this: https://github.com/readysettech/readyset/tree/stable-240117/...

This example is a great use case for partial incremental view maintenance systems like ReadySet: you automatically get something like the “prepopulating the cache” section (toward the end of the blog) while only caching the data the application is using, and avoiding the need to manually implement any sort of invalidation logic.

(Disclaimer: I used to work for them, but don’t anymore. It’s all available for free on GitHub though for anyone interested: https://github.com/readysettech/readyset)

There are systems that will do that for you like https://readyset.io/.

ReadySet

readyset.io is the company that jonhoo was associated with for work on noria

Might be interesting to try out https://readyset.io for this use case.

On the caching topic, I found the ReadySet(né Noria) approach to be extremely interesting.
