About time for the 6th Edition, eh? What would folks include in it?

- Vector databases and hybrid search?

- Object storage for all the things? Lake houses. Parquet and beyond.

- Continuously materialized views? I'm not sure this one has made the splash but I think about Naiad (Materialize) and Noria (Readyset)

- NewSQL went mostly mainstream (Spanner wasn't included in the last one, but there's been more here with things like CockroachDB, TiDB, etc)

redbook.io huh?

Some might argue the Red Book to be “NSA Trusted Networks” a.k.a the ugly red book that won't fit on the shelf.
