Cool! I built CurioDB a while back with the same idea, but using Akka as the underlying framework. Persistent Redis with distributed transactions, embedded Lua and a websocket front-end: https://github.com/stephenmcd/cu

If each key/value in the DB is treated as distributed (as per the actor model), a lot of the limitations Redis faces in a distributed environment are solved. I wrote a lot more about it here: http://blog.jupo.org/2015&#

I really love the idea of explaining the actor model as tons of tiny little servers compared to a single monolithic server. I tried to make the same comparison recently when I talked about adding distributed transactions to CurioDB (Redis c

Great project. I recently used LuaJ to embed Lua scripting inside CurioDB: https://github.com/stephenmcd/curiodb - it's a distributed Redis clone built with Scala/Akka. In terms of matching features with Redi

Yep, one actor per KV means some kind of distributed coordination would be needed - that doesn't exist yet.

That'd be good!

Hey Jon, long time no see. :-) Yes I imagine the thinking there is similar in your project, eg: Redis/CurioDB :: Node/SocketCluster ( https://github.com/SocketCluster/socketcluster ).

Glad you like it! Hardware requirements would depend on your usage of course, it's like asking about the length of a piece of string. :-) Honestly though, the code probably needs a lot more eyeballs on it before it's production re

Perhaps it was more a case of accuracy for what we were looking at at the time then :-) It's something we run out of band on a subset of our data, so it's never been performance critical.

Great article. I went through a similar process about a year ago for https://kouio.com (RSS reader). In its case I needed to coalesce closely matching RSS feeds purely for storage and performance. After trialling edit distance a

Well that list above are all things I kinda class as "personal notifications", so I put all those into a folder - in kouio you can view a single folder at a time, or expand it and see the unread counts against each feed (pretty su
