    Apache DataFusion SQL Query Engine

  • Have fun with in-memory columnar databases or SQL engines and see how fast they are (the ones that use CPU-efficient data structures and data element access, plus SIMD processing). For example Apache Arrow datafusion [1]

  • macos-virtualbox

    Discontinued Push-button installer of macOS Catalina, Mojave, and High Sierra guests in Virtualbox on x86 CPUs for Windows, Linux, and macOS

  • https://github.com/myspaghetti/macos-virtualbox

    Put MacOS and Linux (I recommend Ubuntu Mate for desktop) on there as a couple of VMs and poof, a much less ungodly 16GB of RAM per OS.

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.
