This is not true at all. China’s education system is nationally standardized. Although economic development is uneven with far greater investment concentrated in major cities than …

It’s true that learning Chinese as an adult—especially if you come from an English or other European language background—can be extremely challenging. I have several colleagues who…

The disk storage EloqKV uses (EloqStore [1]) is optimized for batch updates because the upper Data Substrate layer manages buffering and the Write-Ahead Log (WAL), absorbing writes…

If you need so many tricks to support the infra, it will eventually come back to bite you. I am pretty sure that Google in year 2000 could have supported their workloads with exist…

These are great questions. I appreciate you carefully reading through the documents. For the first question, we have detailed benchmark on EloqKV, with the same architecture (but w…

That's exactly the reason. S3 is better in almost all aspects compared with EBS, except the performance part, and I am glad that our Data Substrate technology solved this issue gra…

For full transparency, I am the CEO of EloqData and I am happy to answer any questions you have. EloqDoc has been open-sourced for awhile, and we are glad to announce that the curr…

Thank you so much for reporting this! My local testing on Chrome privacy mode was fine, but we will definitely prioritize checking and fixing the issue in Firefox's Strict Privacy …

That is right. We leverage some of the AGPL MongoDB code for the parser, as indicated by the License. Our own code can be licensed differently, see a previous discussion on Hacker …

That’s correct. FerretDB and DocumentDB both pursue PostgreSQL-based document models. EloqDoc follows a fundamentally different architectural path. Instead of executing in Postgres…

Yes, this is exactly the typical use case where EloqDoc shines. Our auto-tiering feature allows you to manage a massive database (e.g., 5TB+) primarily on cheap, durable object sto…

We're excited to share EloqDoc, a new open source document database built on top of Data Substrate. EloqDoc is designed around the principle of treating object storage (like S3) as…

Thank you. Indeed we do already have several large multi-national companies using EloqKV in their production environments. Please contact us if you have any further questions. More…

Great question. Currently, the database landscape is very fragmented. We are faced with a multitude of database choices (different ACID guarantees, data modalities, scalability, an…

TiKV is a great project and we have a lot of respect for their work. EloqKV is based on a very different architecture [1], and we also have MySQL compatible [2] and MongoDB compati…

That’s right. You can simply choose GPL and ignore the AGPL part for EloqKV. The reason we use both is that, in other projects, we need to support both GPL and AGPL. EloqKV and all…

The reason is because we use a layer (our main innovation) called DataSubstrate to build modular databases that support distributed transactions [1]. Because we use some MariaDB co…

Really appreciate it. I am the CEO of EloqData. We submitted the ShowHN about a year ago [1]. Since then we made a lot of progress, much of the work is based on the feedback from t…

Why? Honestly, there are already tons of Model-as-a-Service (MaaS) platforms out there—big names like AWS Bedrock and Azure AI Foundry, plus a bunch of startups like Groq and firef…

You're absolutely right—discussing the CAP theorem is essential for any distributed storage system. We are preparing a detailed blog post to cover the implications of CAP in our sy…

Thank you for the insightful reply. I agree, Redis's transaction API ("MULTI/EXEC/DISCARD/WATCH") is challenging compared to SQL's familiar "START/COMMIT/ROLLBACK," and it has key …

Thank you, Andy! This is Jeff, CEO and Chief Architect of EloqData. It's a great honor for us to have THE Andy Pavlo join the discussion on our first HN submission. If I remember c…
