Mooncake: next-gen search and analytic systems

Wed, 30 Oct 2024 00:00:00 +0000

We are Zhou, Cheng, and Pranav. And we’ve spent the last decade building databases at MemSQL (now SingleStore).

We love complex systems, deep-tech engineering, and naturally – physics 🙂 Data systems, much like physics, are built on certain principles. The principles need to be unanimous and durable.

Building systems that are simply ’technically’ better is futile. The success of a data system depends on the principles it embodies, and changing them along the way is extremely difficult. Closed-source companies can’t go to open source and expect adoption. Databases can’t just abandon their storage format and be effective stateless engines.
