Apache Druid
Druid
Apache Druid is an open source distributed data store. Druid’s core design combines ideas from data warehouses, timeseries databases, and search systems to create a high performance real-time analytics database for a broad range of use cases. Druid merges key characteristics of each of the 3 systems into its ingestion layer, storage format, querying layer, and core architecture. Druid stores and compresses each column individually, and only needs to read the ones needed for a particular query, which supports fast scans, rankings, and groupBys. Druid creates inverted indexes for string values for fast search and filter. Out-of-the-box connectors for Apache Kafka, HDFS, AWS S3, stream processors, and more. Druid intelligently partitions data based on time and time-based queries are significantly faster than traditional databases. Scale up or down by just adding or removing servers, and Druid automatically rebalances. Fault-tolerant architecture routes around server failures. -

advastamedia®/O
Kittelberger media solutions
Based on our advastamedia®/O product media database, we have developed a powerful system in the sectors of Product Information Management (PIM), Media Asset Management (MAM) and Cross Media Publishing. All data and media relating to product, marketing, PR and sales are managed and processed and accordingly, advastamedia®/O supports numerous print and online publishing processes. PIM and MAM systems are often used separately from each other. Each topic is extremely complex in itself. There are many challenges to mapping object dependencies, handling mass data and the diversity of outputs on the PIM side, and for handling media assets, variants, maintenance workflows and naming conventions on the MAM side (to name but a few). However, there should be no output boundaries between PIM and MAM – and increasing requirements in data quality and flexibility demand short paths and data consistency. The use of our integrated advastamedia® solution saves money, time and resources. -

Gilhari
Software Tree
We’re thrilled to announce that Software Tree has won a 2021 DEVIES Award in the code frameworks/libraries category for its innovative Gilhari microservice framework. Gilhari makes it easy for developers to quickly develop high-performance, database-agnostic, and Docker-compatible RESTful applications that need to interact with JSON data in cloud or on-premises. The object-oriented world and the relational world are conceptually different. Manually writing the verbose mapping logic to bridge the gap between the object-oriented and relational artifacts is tedious and time-consuming. Software Tree’s ORM technology frameworks are lightweight in their design and implementation and provide a lightweight feel in their usage. The lightweight aspects of our ORM technology do not compromise on its power and functionality, though. This results in faster development and deployment of modern applications that require flexible object-oriented access to relational data. -

Vitess
Vitess
A database clustering system for horizontal scaling of MySQL. Vitess combines many important MySQL features with the scalability of a NoSQL database. Its built-in sharding features let you grow your database without adding sharding logic to your application. Vitess automatically rewrites queries that hurt database performance. It also uses caching mechanisms to mediate queries and prevent duplicate queries from simultaneously reaching your database. Vitess automatically handles functions like master failovers and backups. It uses a lock server to track and administer servers, letting your application be blissfully ignorant of database topology. Vitess eliminates the high-memory overhead of MySQL connections. Vitess servers easily handle thousands of connections at once. MySQL doesn’t natively support sharding, but you will likely need it as your database grows. -

Postico
Postico
Postico is a database client. Postico can connect to a local PostgreSQL server running on your Mac, or to remote servers running on a different computer. If you want to install a local PostgreSQL server on your Mac, I recommend Postgres.app. Postgres.app starts a PostgreSQL server running locally on your Mac. The first time it starts it will automatically create a new data directory and set up an empty database. After a few moments, the server will be running and waiting for connections. Postgres.app can't start when another PostgreSQL server is already running on your computer. If you run into problems, make sure to deactivate or uninstall other PostgreSQL installations. Reboot your computer after uninstalling! To connect to a PostgreSQL server with Postico, you must first create a favorite. A favorite contains parameters for connecting to a server. Some connection parameters are optional. -
