If you product is CDC based (peerdb) you don’t want storage to support this :)

This architecture is better for OLTP because all maintenance operations are moved to storage AND it has all other benefits such as LTAP that emerge from having a scalable storage.

;) sounding good on paper vs how it works in practice (supporting demanding real-time OLTP/OLAP workloads) are completely different ball games.

Separately, I understand taking care of it at storage level, but still don’t get “unifying storage” or “zero copy”.

Anyways, I’ll stop now. Good to see all the innovation happening on converging OLTP/OLAP front. Each with a different approach and perspective. :)

this is all so funny, gl to everyone

Did you even read the blog? Or are you just throwing shade because you are working on a competitive product based on CDC?

Oh no, I did read the blog. Not throwing shade at anyone here—the blog is great. It just doesn’t provide real-world evidence, and it opens up a bunch of technical questions that I’m trying to understand. that’s exactly what HN is for. :)
