Feed: Redis Labs. Author: Chris Cheung. Here are five things to keep in mind when writing a Redis module. While this list is non-exhaustive, my aim is to offer a good way to get started if you don’t yet have much experience with module building. 1. Find a compelling module use case Redis already has plenty of tools that allow you to build the exact solution you need. One example could be locks. Using SET with the NX option, you can create a lock key, and by combining it with EXPIRE, you get a lock lease. This can be very ... Read More

Feed: Redis Labs. Author: Chris Cheung. At RedisConf19, we officially released a new module called RedisGears. You may have already seen some other modules by either Redis Labs or the community at large, but Gears will defy any expectations you have. It really pushes the limits of what is possible with modules. Gears scripts At first glance, RedisGears looks like a general-purpose scripting language that can be used to query your data in Redis. Imagine having a few hashmaps in your Redis database with user-related information such as age and first/last name. Here is the execution breakdown for the RedisGears ... Read More

Feed: Blog – Hazelcast. Author: Emin Demirci. We are excited to announce the new repository for extension modules of Hazelcast Jet. This repository will be home for the Hazelcast Jet extension modules, including connectors (including both sources and sinks), custom aggregations, and context factories. All of these modules will help make the integration easier for 3rd-party products in your pipelines. The main idea of having a separate repository for these extensions is to have a faster software development lifecycle. We have more flexibility for prototyping, developing, and releasing new extensions with this approach. Any contributions, ideas, or implementations are always ... Read More

Feed: Blog – Hazelcast. Author: Dan Ortega. Stream processing refers to real-time management of data entering a banking system (or any information system, actually) at high speed and volume, usually from a broad range of sources. The “management” aspect means data is wholly or partially processed and contextualized before entering an in-memory (operational) system, where pre-processing can significantly accelerate response times. Before in-memory technologies, transactional data was managed as a batch process and analyzed every hour, once a day, etc., depending on the data involved, the bank’s policies for handling data, regulatory and compliance requirements, and so on. While having ... Read More

One of the most impressive new implementations is from Katoni, an ecommerce hub that offers SEO tools via software as a service (SaaS) to mostly Scandinavian clients. Katoni has replaced Elasticsearch with MemSQL for MemSQL’s ability to handle complex queries with speed, scalability, and native SQL support. MemSQL is currently the primary database powering Katoni’s SaaS suite of SEO tools. MemSQL runs alongside PostgreSQL, which serves as a ... Read More

Feed: Redis Labs. Author: Ariel Shtul. Background You may find yourself wondering whether you should use more probabilistic data structures in your code. The answer is, as always, it depends. If your data set is relatively small and you have the required memory available, keeping another copy of the data in an index might make sense. You’ll maintain 100% accuracy and get a fast execution time. However, when the data set becomes sizeable, your current solution will soon turn into a slow memory hog as it stores an additional copy of the items or items’ identifiers. Therefore, when you deal ... Read More

Feed: Blog – ArangoDB. Author: Jan Stücke. Step-by-step we are getting closer and closer to the official release of ArangoDB 3.5. First of all, we want to send a biiiiig “Thank You!” to all the testers so far and all your feedback! Super helpful for us! This Release Candidate post is dedicated to the four new features of ArangoSearch which extend the capabilities and provide pretty huge performance improvements, especially for queries including search & sorting.
