SQL is fifty years old and the ecosystem around it has never been more active. Distributed engines, query layers over object storage, SQL interfaces on non-relational systems, and a continuous supply of alternatives to the incumbent databases. On the .org the open-source reading comes forward, and that's where a great deal of the interesting work in this space actually … [Read more...] about altsql.org

SQL has outlasted every technology that was supposed to replace it, and the landscape around it has multiplied rather than shrunk. Distributed SQL, query engines over object storage, SQL layers on top of non-relational systems, and a steady supply of alternatives to specific incumbent databases. Altsql names that space on the .net, which is the natural extension for database … [Read more...] about altsql.net
forgeschema.com
Schema is the structure that makes data usable, and forging is making something with heat and force. Together they name the act of building a data structure properly, which is a real and underappreciated engineering task. The name fits a schema design tool, a data modelling product, an API definition platform, a migration service, or a developer consultancy. Schema management … [Read more...] about forgeschema.com
reelcoding.com
Two readings, and the interesting one is newer. Reels are the dominant short-form video format, and the production of them at scale has become a technical problem. Automated editing, template systems, batch rendering, caption generation, and programmatic assembly of clips. That's coding applied to reels, and it's how high-volume creator operations actually work. The name fits … [Read more...] about reelcoding.com
newdb.org
New DB is exactly how engineers talk about the perpetual state of the database world. There is always a new one, the space has been in continuous ferment for fifteen years, and the question of which to use is asked constantly. The name fits a database news and comparison resource, a benchmarking project, an open-source database, a directory of engines, or a technical … [Read more...] about newdb.org
mldev.net
Two abbreviations that every practitioner reads instantly. ML for machine learning, dev for development. Together they name the job title that a large share of the current software labour market is trying to fill. ML development is distinct from both data science and conventional software engineering, and the tooling around it is a substantial market: experiment tracking, … [Read more...] about mldev.net
keyvaluedatabase.com
The key-value database is one of the foundational categories in data storage, and it has become commercially central as systems got bigger and latency budgets got tighter. Caching layers, session stores, configuration systems, and real-time state all run on this model. This is the exact term on the .com with no hyphen. For a technical audience, exact-match naming is worth more … [Read more...] about keyvaluedatabase.com
altsql.com
SQL is fifty years old and shows no sign of going anywhere, but the landscape around it has multiplied. NewSQL, distributed SQL, query engines over object storage, SQL layers on top of non-relational systems, and the whole family of tools offering alternatives to the traditional database. Altsql names that space. The alt- prefix is doing precise work: it signals adjacency … [Read more...] about altsql.com
aftermarket.dev
Aftermarket on the .dev extension is an unusual and specific combination. The .dev is reserved for technical use and enforced with HTTPS, which means a site there reads as a developer product before a visitor sees anything else. Pair that with aftermarket and you get a name for the technical side of resale and secondary markets: an API for pricing data, a developer platform … [Read more...] about aftermarket.dev
keyvaluestore.com
A key-value store is one of the fundamental data structures in computing and one of the most commercially significant categories in database software. Redis, DynamoDB, etcd, RocksDB. The pattern underpins caching, session state, configuration, and a great deal of what makes large systems fast. This is the exact term on the .com, without hyphens. For a technical audience an … [Read more...] about keyvaluestore.com
