Explanation: Ayende is a well known programmer in the .NET community. Among other things he works on RavenDB (open-source NoSql db for .NET) and is currently working on a new storage engine for it called Voron. In this post he discusses Uber's blog post about Postgres and MySQL and compares the low level workings of both with what his team is doing with RavenDB and Voron.



I was recently informed [0] about Marten [1,2], which is like RavenDB but uses PostgreSQL for the backend.

Also, he has published a lot of review of database code. In particular, he has 18 blog entries on the leveldb C++ code base: https://ayende.com/blog/161410/reviewing-leveldb-part-i-what...


Thank you for explaining what Voron is.


BTW - "voron" is raven in Russian.
