pREST VS tidb

In a previous post, I published an example with PostgREST on YugabyteDB. Here is another one: pREST opens a REST API to PostgreSQL. YugabyteDB is a PostgreSQL-compatible Open-Source Distributed SQL database. It adds horizontal scalability to applications built for PostgreSQL. Let's see how it integrates with pREST.

Pretty sure I started with this: https://github.com/prest/prest/blob/main/cmd/root.go

And from there you can execute your own command and add handlers or other things as you wish.

Improve local tests execution — it is frustrating that someone wants to contribute and cannot run the local tests (we use e2e tests, making requests to prestd's own API), a way was implemented where the tests run inside docker using docker-compose;

With pRest, it is possible to create a RESTFul API to access the contents of a Postgres database in a fast and straightforward way. The project, written in Go, can be found on its official website and Github.

tidb has been around for a while, it is distributed, written in Go and Rust, and MySQL compatible. https://github.com/pingcap/tidb

Somewhat relatedly, StarRocks is also MySQL compatible, written in Java and C++, but it's tackling OLAP use-cases. https://github.com/StarRocks/starrocks

It's MySQL-Compatible database for scale and real-time analytics https://github.com/pingcap/tidb

We work on a MySQL compatible distributed database called TiDB https://github.com/pingcap/tidb/ and key-value store called TiKV.

TiDB is written in Go and TiKV is written in Rust.

OLTP usually comes with high throughput of transactions, which means usually write(e.g., IUD - insert, update, delete) to read (e.g., select) ratio is above 4 or 5 or even higher. There are some good benchmarks to test OLTP workload like TPC-C (https://www.tpc.org/tpcc/), and some benchmarks to test OLAP workload like TPC-H (https://www.tpc.org/tpch/). For mixed or hybrid OLTP and OLAP (it's called HTAP, see this blog for some background https://en.pingcap.com/blog/the-beauty-of-htap-tidb-and-allo...), TPC-H was originally designed for this, however, it actually doesn't reveal the real world workload with several drawbacks. A newer research work from UC Berkeley proposed a HTAP benchmark called TAOBench (https://www.vldb.org/pvldb/vol15/p1965-cheng.pdf) which is pretty interesting and worthy to check.

For the HTAP systems, as mentioned in the above blog, there are quite a few industrial products, like Google just announced AlloyDB (https://cloud.google.com/alloydb), Snowflake's UniStore (https://www.snowflake.com/workloads/unistore/), and one of the most popular open source projects TiDB (https://github.com/pingcap/tidb) which have been deployed by many business applications.

Hopefully these may help a little bit :-)
