I always love to see new Databases! Welcome CursusDB! (Random thought: Someone should create an online list of all known databases, all known versions of those databases, Lines-Of-Code (LOC) counts, the language that the database was written in, and the OS'es that it is available on.

There is one it's made by the kind individual(s) at Carnegie Mellon University. It's called dbdb.io :D

Thank you by the way! Great to see enthusiasm for new database systems!

I am working on a video tutorial on how to build a FULL production grade Hackernews clone with real-time front end updates, authentication, automatic backups, replicas, TLS, and yes we will be using CursusDB as the database system using an Observer and Websockets to relay database activity in realtime as shown here https://github.com/cursusdb/cursusdb-observer-node-ws-exampl...

In the video I will deploy the final application to Cloud Run and keep it online for you all to play with. I will respond to this with the video!

Cheers

For new products I always recommend the same thing: name your competitors and use cases. Compare them in a table; don't make the user think. Who should and should not use your product? Being in-memory and distributed, I imagine your competitors include Ignite and Hazelcast? I read the title as CursorDB, which would have made a nice DB name.

> Compare them in a table; don't make the user think

Document-oriented databases might be reluctant to accept the premise that tables are better for users

Just want to add this bit so I've recently finished node's transaction persistence. Mind you I've actually tested power outages at my own house. Don't wanna get into too much details about that lol!!

But what I've found is that the .qqueue works as expected. If I make thousands of update requests to one document and the power goes out the CursusDB node system persists all updates on startup. Pretty cool stuff.

"... Powered by AI", you'd have the most buzzwords title

Ah buzzwords. I saw a database the other day with hundreds of buzzwords on their website and posts all over and nothing clicked at all actually playing with it. False marketing. I'm not into that. Could lead to disaster.

I agree, always name your competitors as people will look them up anyway
