> Traditional databases would compute the results of this query from scratch every time it was issued. Is this really the case that queries can't be cached on traditional databases?

ReadySet PM here - depends on if there are writes to the table or not! For example, MySQL deprecated their query cache, but previously it would only cache until there were any writes to the tables that the queries were referencing https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.7/en/query-cache-configur...

I was just looking this up and it's correct, they don't cache queries (if they do, it's a separate feature), they only manage query planning in ways that make them faster.

Even CochroachDB doesn't do query cache, only query planning is cached. [0] [1]

If you release something new, you should make sure that your documentation contains useful information.

Even the most fundamental information like available configuration options, command-line arguments, deployment information and so on is missing.

Looking at the code it appears that you need Consul, Zookeeper and Redis to make this fly and the docs don't mention this anywhere. They (barely) explain how to run the SQL proxy on a local machine but thats it.

I wonder if the testimonials on your website are just pulled from thin air, I don't think any sane person would even experiment with this anywhere near production environments.

BSL :(

From their README: > ReadySet is licensed under the BSL 1.1 license, converting to the open-source Apache 2.0 license after 4 years. The ReadySet team is hard at work getting the codebase ready to be hosted on Github.

Has anyone else done this thing with BSL for 4 years that then converts to Apache 2? I've not seen it before.

This is what Cockroach does as well: https://www.cockroachlabs.com/docs/stable/licensing-faqs.htm...

Hey, PM @ ReadySet - fair points, and thanks for checking us out.

We've been in pretty heavy development and have been heads down on getting ReadySet into your hands as quickly as we could. We'll be doing a major documentation pass soon which will have more info about clustering, etc.

There's also a bit more detail in our development guide - see https://github.com/readysettech/readyset/blob/main/developme...

Redpanda is doing the same. TBH I really don't like BSL, I prefer 10 times open core model

PolyScale [1] is a serverless plug-and-play database edge cache. Our goal is for devs to be able to scale reads globally in a few minutes. It’s wire compatible with Postgres, MySQL, MS SQL Server (more coming including no-sql).

It has a global edge network, so no infrastructure to deploy and AI managed cache and auto invalidation, so no cache configuration needed.
