How does this stack up in 2025/6?
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.
Crash & Burn <3
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)
