🚀 Dropbox plans to acquire Tigris, and everything you rely on today stays as it is: the product, the API, the pricing, the people.

Even more storage, free to move to any cloud.

Here’s what it means and what comes next: tigrisdata.com/blog/dropbox-p…

We started Tigris to build the storage layer we wished existed, and our customers trusted us with their hardest workloads. Today we announced Dropbox plans to acquire Tigris. Everything our customers have today stays. And we finally get to build this at the scale it deserves.

One of the fun things about running FoundationDB in production is that when someone asks "what's hammering the cluster?", the answer is usually "give me a minute, I need to run a Python script."

It continuously pulls transaction profiles out of FoundationDB, puts them in ClickHouse, and gives us Grafana dashboards where we can look at hot keys, busy prefixes, and transaction conflicts over time.

The nice part is that we didn't have to instrument a bunch of application code. FoundationDB was already collecting the data. We just weren't keeping it.

The core parts of relational databases are transactions, tables, and indices. At Tigris we use a non-relational database (FoundationDB) but still have indices. How did we do it? We made our own!

Today we have a romp through database theory and how indices get implemented on top of FoundationDB so you can learn more about how the tools you use work. Enjoy!

Ram is inordinately expensive right now, so everything we can do to cut ram usage makes objgit better for everyone.

Look in the thread for the post because social networks punish you for having thread starting posts with links in them for some reason.

As such, here's a tale of how objgit's ram usage was cut by an exponential amount scaled to repository size: tigrisdata.com/blog/objgit-ra…

Wow Railway Buckets so good.
I benchmarked 5 object storage providers from 6 locations around the world

I included:
- @awscloud S3
- @Cloudflare R2
- @Railway Buckets
- @backblaze B2
- @neondatabase Storage

It used Files SDK to make it as fair as possible

Here's a summary 👇 (this is also a thread)

Gave the Bucket file explorer an overhaul on @prisma Compute. It can bulk upload and delete, do prefix filtering and understands folders. And it's gorgeous!

Prisma Buckets are powered by @TigrisData so they are blazing fast. Free for the rest of the year, so give it a try!

TAG is a self-hosted cache for object storage, and it is open source.
Håkon and Jeff wrote up the whole design, Vortex files, SlateDB indexes on object storage, and TAG as the cache: goldsky.com/blog/prism-geo…

Hey all, we have more updates on objgit!

Looks like it's taking off amidst other companies making git services for some reason. Again, really have to wonder what that's all about.

Either way we want to keep chugging along at this and turn objgit into the git server that we wish we had: infinitely scalable and with all the important data on object storage. As an added bonus we'd also try to make a scraper-resistant web UI.
