Those care about quickly sending compact messages over the network, but most of them do not create a sparse in-memory representation that you can read on the fly. Especially in jav…

They're implementing MVCC

does having to maintain the slatedb as a consistent singleton (even with write fencing) make this as operationally tricky as a third party db?

Is this possibly an intentional reference to GNU Linux, or unrelated?

TCP performance gets quite poor over long distances. CDNs are very helpful if you're trying to make your site work well far away from your servers.

This will block threads while waiting for other threads to write. That might work great for your threading model but I usually end up putting the writer in one thread and then othe…

Just that row should be locked since it's: "for update skip locked". I agree the concurrency limitation is kind of rough, but it's kind of elegant because you don't have to impleme…
