Trino VS cockroach

We decided not to waste time reinventing the wheel and simply installed Trino on our servers. It’s a full featured SQL query engine that works on your data. Now our analysts can use it to work with data from AppMetr and execute queries at different levels of complexity.

DevRel for StarRocks. Trino doesn't have a great caching layer (https://github.com/trinodb/trino/pull/16375) and performance (https://github.com/trinodb/trino/issues/14237) and https://github.com/oap-project/Gluten-Trino. In benchmarks and community user testing, StarRocks has outperformed.

What if my SQL engine is Presto, Trino [1], or a similar query engine? If it's federating multiple source databases we peel the SQL back and get... SQL? Or you peel the SQL back and get... S3 + Mongo + Hadoop? Junior analysts would work at 1/10th the speed if they had to use those raw.

The good thing is that the concepts in terms to the SQL supported by Trino transfers between them all. So its completely reasonable to start with one and move to another. In fact that is something that happens regularly. I invite to you check out the talks from the Trino Fest event that is just wrapping up today. There are presentations about all these aspects and different scenarios users encounter. All videos and slides will go live on the Trino website soon. Also feel free to join the Trino slack to chat about about all this with other users.

There are distributed query engines like Trino that help with this sort of problem https://trino.io/

This issue in particular is a killer for me: https://github.com/trinodb/trino/issues/10974

AFAIK Presto was forked and Trino https://trino.io/ is now the leading SQL Query engine .

Trino or Hive for SQL querying. Get Trino/Hive to talk to Nessie.

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 - 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.
