To carry out any design work, the customer chooses a contractor from among companies, which are quite difficult to compare linearly due to very subtle but significant differences in the structure and organization of internal processes. The two main competing forces […]
Half a thousand people once gathered in an open field. In costumes so strange that only in an open field nothing could threaten them. Almost everyone had a bowler hat hanging from their belt and test tubes clanking in their bags - either with ink or with grandma’s compote. Having divided into groups, everyone took out test tubes and began to pour their contents into […]

This is a very simple and understandable algorithm, which has contributed to its widespread use for many tens, if not hundreds, of years.

Until recently, Odnoklassniki stored about 50 TB of data processed in real time in SQL Server. For such a volume, it is almost impossible to provide fast and reliable, and even data center failure-tolerant access using a SQL DBMS. Typically, in such cases, one of the NoSQL storages is used, but not everything can be transferred to NoSQL: some entities require […]
