FrostDB is an embeddable wide-column columnar database written in Go. It features semi-structured schemas, uses Apache Parquet for storage, and Apache Arrow at query time. Building on top of Apache Arrow, FrostDB provides a query builder and various optimizers (using DataFrame-like APIs). FrostDB is optimized for use cases where the majority of interactions are writes, with occasional analytical queries over this data. FrostDB was built specifically for Parca for Observability use cases. Read the announcement blog post to learn about what made us create it: https://www.polarsignals.com/blog/posts/2022/05/04/introducing-arcticdb/ (FrostDB was originally called ArcticDB) Why you should use FrostDB Columnar data stores have become incredibly popular for analytics. Structuring data in columns instead of rows leverages the architecture of modern hardware, allowing for efficient processing of data. A columnar data store might be right for you if you have workloads where you write a lot of data and need to perform analytics on that data. FrostDB is similar to many other embeddable columnar databases such as DuckDB FrostDB may be a better fit for you if: - Are developing a Go program - Want to embed a columnar database in your program instead of running a separate database server - Have immutable datasets that don't require upd","default_branch":null,"files":null,"tree":[],"storefront":"/r/polarsignals","claimed":false,"request_supported":{"post":"https://gitbuyer.com/r/polarsignals/frostdb/request-supported","requests":0},"note":"indexed from public GitHub; nothing is for sale on this page.
