yugabyte-db VS Hasura

YugabyteDB is a transactional database that brings together four must-have needs of cloud native apps – namely SQL as a flexible query language, low-latency performance, continuous availability, and globally-distributed scalability. Other databases do not serve all 4 of these needs simultaneously.

It is possible to apply Batched Nested Loop but with additional code that checks the range of the outer bigint and compare it only if it matches the range of integer. This has been added in YugabyteDB 2.21 with #20715 YSQL: Allow BNL on joins over different integer types to help migrations from PostgreSQL with such datatype inconsistencies.

It can be done like https://github.com/yugabyte/yugabyte-db/ has.

Therefore, interleaving or co-partitioning is probably not necessary, and would reduce agility and scalability more than improving the performance. Unless you have a good reason for it that you can share on Issue #79. But, first, test and tune the queries to see if you need something else.

This is a workaround, not supported. I've opened the following issue to get it solve in the YugabyteDB deployment: https://github.com/yugabyte/yugabyte-db/issues/19389

Note that there may still be a need for bitmaps, especially with disjunctions (OR) as the following is about conjunction (AND), and it can still be implemented, differently than PostgreSQL. This is tracked by #4634.

You have seen me using the official YugabyteDB Docker image extensively. This image is suitable for various purposes, including labs, development, testing, and even production. In the past, we used to create it internally due to its seamless integration with our build process. However, some companies prefer to construct the image on their own, which is indeed a commendable practice. After all, it's not advisable to run random images with root privileges on your servers. As a result, we have made a significant alteration by introducing a refined Dockerfile to our Github repository.

Of course, I can guess from the function names, but YugabyteDB is Open Source and I can search for them. What happens here is that I didn't declare a Primary Key for my table and then an internal one (ybctid) is generated, because secondary indexes need a key to address the table row. This ID generation calls /dev/urandom. I made this simple example to show that low-level traces can give a clue about high level data model problems.

> 2. ORMs do not hide SQL nastiness.

This is certainly true!

I mean: ORMs are now well known to "make the easy queries slightly more easy, while making intermediate queries really hard and complex queries impossible".

I think the are of ORMs is over. It simply did not deliver.

If a book on SQL is --say-- 100 pages, a book on Hibernate is 400 pages. So much to learn just to make the easy queries slightly easier to type? Just not worth it.

I prefer jooq any day over ORMs. And dont get me started over what tools like Hasuna have to offer.

There are also some languages (forgot the names) that are SQL-done-right. Select in the back, more type safe, more logic, more in the same steps as the query gets executed. These need to be adopted by PG and MySQL and we're good to go. (IMHO)

Another strategy is to model access control declaratively and enforce it in the application layer. ZenStack (built above Prisma ORM) and Hasura are good examples of this approach. The following code shows how access policies are defined with ZenStack and how a secured CRUD API can be derived automatically.

Today, this ecosystem is going strong with new providers like Hasura, AppWrite and Supabase powering millions of projects. There are a few reasons people choose this style of hosting, especially if they are more comfortable with frontend development. BaaS lets them set up a database in a secure way, expose some business logic on top of the data, and connect via a dev-friendly SDK from their app or website code to save data easily. These modern tools build a blend of managed database with curated plugins such as authentication, great admin dashboards, and function as a service type capability - all in one package, and often offered as a integrated hosted service.

Hi! If you’ve ever thought about something like using GraphQL for something like this.. You might like Hasura. (Obligatory I work for Hasura)

We’ve got an OpenAPI import and you can setup cron-jobs or one-off jobs and do things like load in headers from the environment variables to pass through. There isn’t currently an easy journey for chaining multiple calls together without writing any code at all, but you can wrap pretty much any API endpoint via OpenAPI import or a custom action, and you can even make minor edits to things like the API contract format to change aliases/naming.

Our goal is to join all the things, databases and API’s. Most people know us for instant GraphQL API’s that give you CRUD on your database, but we also wrap APIs.

Not sure if something like this would fit your use-case and do check out some of the other things mentioned, but depending what you are trying to do I think Hasura might potentially work.

Nested Mutation - 113 thumbs up, and still open since 2019... another case of not listening to the users?

Hasura is an open-source real-time GraphQL API server with a strong authorization layer on your database. You can subscribe to database events via webhooks. It can combine multiple API servers into one unified graphQL API. Hasura is a great tool to build any CRUD GraphQL API. Hasura does not have any authentication mechanisms; e.g., you need an auth server to handle sign-up and sign-in.
