If you wondering about the state of @TimescaleDB they have to lie about other companies products. This is a gross way to misrepresent the durability of Metal. We do not allow provisioning less than 3 nodes.
@samlambert @TimescaleDB Hi @samlambert - I honestly don't understand your interpretation of that paragraph, or why you seem so angry about it? Here's what I wrote: - We considered an architecture using local NVMe. - An example of such a database system using local NVMe is PlanetScale Metal.
@michaelfreedman @TimescaleDB you make it sound like its a customers choice to make and if they don't they can lose data. thats not true.
@samlambert @TimescaleDB 5 TB at 10 GiB/s (nvme gen 5) would take 64 seconds. Being generous assuming you are using a single disk instead of using raid 1/10 where you could easily exceed 100gbp/s
@NinoMeisterr @TimescaleDB they are going to have to google half the terms you used in your tweet they really dont understand how all this works.
@samlambert @TimescaleDB uh oh please don’t fight need timeseries on planetscale asap
@BigBo1337 @TimescaleDB it will be limited
@samlambert @TimescaleDB They even blatantly lie here: when on my previous job we suggested clients to use VM with local nvme disks we used mirror for those disks and in case of single failure have time to evacuate VMs from faulty host Of course it should not be used instead of proper replication in
@samlambert @TimescaleDB The notion that dedicated boxes with fixed hardware limitations is "pre-cloud" is so silly. This is what any software that cares about maximum performance runs on, cloud or no cloud. Levels of abstraction obscuring that fact are just an illusion.
@samlambert @TimescaleDB Watch out sir. I’m rebranding to http://dollartreedb.io from http://costplusdb.dev - gonna get the shake outta your nickel bag.
@samlambert @TimescaleDB Sounds more like “we’re not willing to put in the work to make nvme durable”
@samlambert @TimescaleDB NVMe lacks true storage elasticity? WTF? Do they meaning that they need like ceph/glusterfs or something like this for so called "elasticity"(!) ?
@samlambert @TimescaleDB To validate your claim, I recently had a discussion with charter communications where I learned they had start using indexes in order to maintain performance with customer data. Is charter a customer yet?
I would like to thank the haters for helping me promote the new PlanetScale $5 plan all day. Thanks guys. That's right $5.
$5 PlanetScale releasing soon https://planetscale.com/blog/5...
planetscale's $5 tier is messed up, now indiehackers will have to choose between a vps or a db
$5 for single node Postgres on PlanetScale. We get DAILY requests for a lower entry price so I'm really excited to offer this! Perfect for development or non-critical apps that don't need our normal 3 node HA clusters.
