Clickhouse went corp a couple weeks ago, Timescale goes fully managed, Snowflake, Dremio, DBX ... :popcorn:
Apache Arrow, K8s, ML analytics have given rise to another DB War.
The end of NoSQL was the realization that SQL had a good reason for existing in most cases. Now we have massively distributed SQL in many flavours. I wonder what the hard lessons will be this time?
I'll wager small data companies will be spending good money on vastly overpowered engines... I wonder what else tho?
Using NoSQL is fast, but requires you to know the how you want to read the data before you start writing. This is not the case with analytics, where new queries pop up all the time.
As a result, NoSQL never really catch on in the analytics/BI crowds, SQL is always king there, if you discount Excel :)
Influxdb was doing a project in Rust/Arrow as well right?
I think the lesson might be- be careful who and when you take funding from. All these managed services smack of VCs looking for ARR growth and a big exit...
