Building distributed transactional relational SQL databases is very hard. Until Regatta, building such a system that not only scaled, but scaled linearly was impossible. Regatta employs new intellectual property to efficiently scale (using less IaaS resources), while maintaining exceptionally low latency, throughput and doing so linearly. Heck, it can even handle heterogenous node types without breaking a sweat.
This is the second part of a two part demonstration that shows an early version of Regatta scaling linearly. The first demo focuses on a simple workload that does simple selects using a direct rowid query – one of the simplest examples possible. The second example shows a more complex workload that intentionally stresses ACID properties, with many conflicting inserts and updates.
Regatta is the first of a new category of database system: OLxP databases. OLxP systems are modern cloud native distributed architectures. OLxP scale linearly without conceding any loss of consistency like what you see with sharded systems. OLxP systems are extremely performant and also extremely efficient. Unlike anything before them – OLxP systems can perform complex analytics directly on transactional data with no ETL, Datapipelines, time delay.
Tell non-distributed legacy systems to go shard themselves.
