I miss a proper database related newsletter for busy people. There’s so much happening in the space, from tech, to licensing, and even usage. Anyway, quick tab sweep.<\/p>\n
Paul Vall\u00e9e (of Pythian fame) has been working on Tehama for sometime, and now he gets to do it full time as a PE firm, bought control of Pythian’s services business. Pythian has more than 350 employees, and 250 customers, and raised capital before. More at Ottawa\u2019s Pythian spins out software platform Tehama<\/a>.<\/p>\n Database leaks data on most of Ecuador’s citizens, including 6.7 million children<\/a> – ElasticSearch.<\/p>\n Percona has launched<\/a> Percona Distribution for PostgreSQL<\/a> 11. This means they have servers for MySQL, MongoDB, and now PostgreSQL. Looks very much like a packaged server with tools from 3rd parties (source<\/a>). <\/p>\n Severalnines has launched<\/a> Backup Ninja, an agent-based SaaS service to backup popular databases in the cloud. Backup.Ninja<\/a> (cool URL) supports MySQL (and variants), MongoDB, PostgreSQL and TimeScale. No pricing available, but it is free for 30 days.<\/p>\n Comparing Database Types: How Database Types Evolved to Meet Different Needs<\/a><\/p>\n New In PostgreSQL 12: Generated Columns<\/a> – anyone doing a comparison with MariaDB Server or MySQL?<\/p>\n Migration Complete \u2014 Amazon\u2019s Consumer Business Just Turned off its Final Oracle Database<\/a> – a huge deal as they migrated 75 petabytes of internal data to DynamoDB, Aurora, RDS and Redshift. Amazon, powered by AWS, and a big win for open source (a lot of these services are built-on open source).<\/p>\n MongoDB and Alibaba Cloud Launch New Partnership<\/a> – I see this as a win for the SSPL relicense. It is far too costly to maintain a drop-in compatible fork, in a single company (Hi Amazon DocumentDB<\/a>!). Maybe if the PostgreSQL layer gets open sourced, there is a chance, but otherwise, all good news for Alibaba and MongoDB. <\/p>\n MySQL 8.0.18<\/a> brings hash join, EXPLAIN ANALYZE<\/a>, and more interestingly, HashiCorp Vault support for MySQL Keyring<\/a>. (Percona has an open source variant<\/a>). <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I miss a proper database related newsletter for busy people.
