VentureBeat about a new company, Orchestrate.io:

Who needs SQL? In fact, who needs databases?

I’ll assume VentureBeat is storing their content directly on /dev/null.

✚ Now to the the interesting part: Antony Falco is one of the founders of Basho. I still seem to remember reading about his departure from Basho, so this hasn’t happened too long ago.

The Big Data space is flooded with buzzwords, and “real-time” has become a staple adjective when touting the advantages of Big Data technologies. However, very few companies have successfully articulated the true economic value of ad-hoc data analysis. While the prospect of speed-of-thought analytics appears attractive, there are actually many indicators that speed sacrifices quality.

It can no longer be ignored: slow is the new fast.

A trend a missed, but it totally makes sense. At least today.

You don’t have to be on an enterprise plan to take advantage of Keen IO’s /dev/null API. It’s 100% free to all of our current and future customers.

In my part of the world, it’s still that day.

For this special day, HadoopSphere has allowed media to learn about the fastest ever SQL engine for Hadoop, YAS:

Q: What is the benchmark used here?

So when we heard about a new database platform called ‘/dev/null’, we became pretty excited. We can’t post a link, because it’s in a very private beta testing phase, but we can assure you that the stealth-mode startup that’s working on it is supported by a pair of high-class Silicon Valley VCs. The technology is supposed to be too cutting-edge for stodgy Boston, so we felt pretty lucky to be included.

Today’s today.

Neo Technology PR:

NullDB uses a patent pending null data model that provides performance and scalability never before seen or even considered for Big Data applications. Its ability to retrieve nothing is unmatched by any known database.

Because today’s today.
