NoSQL of foundationdb-compliant transaction processing

The 2012 San Francisco Disrupt Congress brought the upstart-foundationdb of the NoSQL database, some of which feature as the basic attributes of the SQL database since the 1970s. They say this is a new type of database that extends infinitely more than most NoSQL databases on the market.

Foundationdb not only inherited the advantages of NoSQL, but also integrated their so-called "yesacid" characteristics. FOUNDATIONDB executives believe that their databases have an absolute advantage in scalability and fault tolerance. Without worrying about monomer failures, the service can be easily extended to the distribution base.

Most NoSQL databases have nearly abandoned the standard of SQL databases 30 years ago. This includes the acid-established in the 1970s, which contains atomicity (atomicity), consistency (consistency), isolation (isolation), durability (persistence), which can guarantee the accuracy of the data in the transaction process. Most NoSQL discard acid, so they have many long-term problems (e.g. data consistency). This problem is quickly reflected in the development process: it is difficult to operate on a database without strong consistency guarantees!

Foundationdb's co-founder David Rosenthal, referring to the existing NoSQL database company, said they had emptied the baby together with the water in the bathtub.

' We created a key-value store database, which means that all values have their own indexes, ' said the company's founder. For example: User-related information will be treated as a value. FOUNDATIONDB executives also say it serves as part of a different data model for services (which can be layered on foundationdb). Its goal is to become the foundation of the database environment.

The most obvious use cases are Web applications with extended problems. It can be a complex task, such as when the Twitter service first launches an extension. This violates the guidelines that SQL databases can only install on a single server. The standard NoSQL database can be easily extended without support for things to handle. Now, foundationdb not only has extensibility but also provides support for transactional processing.

FOUNDATIONDB founders also said they had recruited a heavyweight angel investor. In 2006, he sold visual sciences to Webside Story for 60 million dollars. The Webside reshaped visual science and sold it to Omniture in 2008 at a high price of $394 million.

It is clear that FOUNDATIONDB will become a member of a widely used database, and we will keep an eye on its movements. FOUNDATIONDB will launch a beta version and provide downloads by the end of the year.

The emergence of a generation of NoSQL database companies has helped companies manage growing unstructured data problems. And the challenge of FOUNDATIONDB is leapfrog! MongoDB may be flawed, but now it is undoubtedly the leader in many companies, such as Red Hat. Replacing a traditional supplier and making an innovation is totally different!

"The most important innovation of MongoDB is its API, and we sell similar, NoSQL-compatible storage technologies," Rosenthal said. ”
