    Sure! I mentioned a few orthogonal concepts that go well together, and each of the following examples has a different combination that they employ: - the company that developed Madsim (RisingWave) [0] [1] is tries hardest to eliminate non-determinism with the broadest scope (stubbing out syscalls, etc.) - sled [2] itself has an interesting combo of deterministic tests combined with quickcheck+failpoints test case au…

    As others have mentioned, this acquisition leaves many Rockset customers in a tough spot with a short timeline to migrate. I'd like to bring attention to a potential alternative: RisingWave( https://risingwave.com/ ). RisingWave is an open-source streaming database designed for real-time analytics and data processing. Like Rockset, it offers PostgreSQL compatibility and impressive ability to handle both streaming an…

    It's very useful any time the input to some system is a stream of events, potentially from a whole bunch of different sources, but you want the output to be a unified relational data model. I used to work in insurance, and we had a whole bunch of systems of record for different functions of the business -- CRM, policy management, billing, claims, etc. Some were our own tech, many were SaaS. It's great to be able to…

    I am the founder of RisingWave ( http://risingwave.com/ ), an open-source SQL streaming database. I am happy to see the launch of Warpstream! I just reviewed the project and here's my personal opinion: * Apache Kafka is undoubtedly the leading product in the streaming platform space. It offers a simple yet effective API that has become the golden standard. All streaming/messaging vendors need to adhere to Kafka prot…
