Twitter publishes its FlockDB

    It's nice that many large companies continue the tradition of laying out serious things from internal development in Open Source.
    Twitter recently posted FlockDB

    "FlockDB is a database that stores graph data. At the same time, it is not a database optimized for graph traversal operations. FlockDB is optimized for working with very large lists of adjacent graph vertices , fast read and write arithmetic and page "page-able set arithmetic queries."

    The main objective of the project was to solve Twitter problems with working with very large graphs of social data of users (followers, operations mention , etc.). The migration ended 9 months ago and they seem to be happy with everything now.



    Currently, the system stores 13 billion graph edges and supports 20 thousand writes and 100 thousand reads per second.
