Прежде чем шардировать: разбираем внутренности одной ноды СУБД

Когда читаешь новости про очередную миллиардную сделку (типа покупки Neon за $1 млрд), невольно задумываешься: а что такого ценного в этих базах данных? Вроде же есть PostgreSQL, MySQL - бесплатно, open source. Но нет, люди платят, и платят огромные деньги. Чтобы понять, за что, нужно заглянуть под капот.

Тридцать лет назад, летом 1996 года, весь мир обсуждал только одно: первое в мире клонированное млекопитающее, милую овечку по имени Долли. Тема не сходила с первых полос СМИ и попала в кино того времени, ее обсуждали как в популярных телешоу, так и на государственном уровне — этично ли клонировать человека? Можно ли считать такой клон отдельной личностью? Какие у него будут права?Сегодня, несмотря на то, что наука серьезно продвинулась вперед... Read more

Привет, Хабр.Несколько месяцев назад я вышел ближе к ночи в магазин и, проходя мимо стойки с яблоками, придумал рабочую мысль, которую, как обычно, скинул себе в Telegram. Дома меня ждал знакомый ритуал: включить ноут, открыть Telegram, скопировать текст, открыть Obsidian, найти нужную заметку с идеями и только после этого вставить мысль туда, где она и должна была оказаться изначально.Меня в тот момент зацепили не сами действия, а их архитектурная странность....
