Hi, everyone! | |
During the last month I've been working hard to roll out HighlandDB, lightweight | |
NoSQL database for Ruby applications. It gets installed in the application | |
folder and provides user with a clear API. | |
Here are the links: | |
- http://mac-r.github.com/highland/ (official website) | |
- https://github.com/mac-r/highland (Github repo) | |
- http://vimeo.com/55018195 (1 minute video about Highland) | |
John Nunemaker (the creator of mongomapper) once told me: "I do not get it. When | |
would you use highland over any of the other databases out there?". You may ask me | |
that question as well. Further is the answer. | |
The simplicity of highland is the core advantage. Now I am working on the | |
datamining framework called Ajaila (http://ajaila.github.com/). There is a wide | |
range of Ajaila users who are not familiar with databases at all. | |
They spend a lot of time to install MongoDB and other databases. Highland is | |
expected to be the first DB for such users (the default DB in Ajaila). It's | |
extremely easy to play with it before getting familiar with other solutions. | |
I do believe that Highland can find its niche among existing DB solutions. | |
At least it makes Ajaila users happy. Maybe there are other people who can get happy | |
as well. | |
This is my first more or less finished opensource product. I am writing here | |
to get your feedback. Maybe some of you will find this project interesting and will | |
participate. There are many challenging issues. |
