FLOSS Weekly (Video)

Crail is a storage platform for sharing performance critical data in distributed data processing jobs at very high speed. Crail is built entirely upon principles of user-level I/O and specifically targets data center deployments with fast network and storage hardware (e.g., 100Gbps RDMA, plenty of DRAM, NVMe flash, etc.) as well as new modes of operation such resource disaggregation or server-less computing. Crail is written in Java and integrates seamlessly with the Apache data processing ecosystem (e.g., Spark, Hadoop, Flink). It can be used as (i) a backbone to accelerate high-level data operations such as shuffle, reduce, or broadcast; (ii) a cache to store hot data that is queried repeatedly; (iii) a storage platform for sharing inter-job data in complex multi-job pipelines. Last week, Crail has been voted in to become an Apache Incubator project.

Bedrock is Expensify's recently open-sourced technology. It's a RDBMS optimized for self-healing replication across relatively slow, relatively unreliable WAN connections, enabling extremely high availability / high performance multi-datacenter deployments without any single point of failure. Bedrock supports the MySQL protocol and is thus compatible with all your favorite tools, or using the provided PHP client library. In addition to a RDBMS, Bedrock also includes a plugin framework for a reliable job queue and replicated cache, serving as a complete back-end framework for data storage, caching, and job management.
