Reading materials

[haadcode]

Gonna start collecting all the good reading materials here for anything related to decentralized and distributed databases.

[haadcode]

"Highly Available Transactions: Virtues and Limitations"

highly recommended!

[haadcode]

Jepsen - Distributed Systems Safety Research is a huge source of information and inspiration

[haadcode]

"Proxy Re-Encryption: Analysis of Constructions and its Application to Secure Access
Delegation"

[haadcode]

"Scalable Atomic Visibility with RAMP Transactions"

[haadcode]

"LogDevice: a distributed data store for logs"

[haadcode]

"Duality of Streams and Tables"

[haadcode]

"Btree vs LSM"

[haadcode]

"Efficient Revocation And Secure Attribute-Based Proxy Re-Encryption Scheme"

[haadcode]

"The Limits of the CAP Theorem"

[haadcode]

"Turning the database inside-out with Apache Samza"

this is essentially the same architecture orbit-db currently has

[haadcode]

The whole Redbook - "Readings in Database Systems, 5th Edition" is worth reading.

Couple of chapters that are very relevant:
"New DBMS Architectures"
"Weak Isolation and Distribution"

[haadcode]

"Coordination Avoidance in Database Systems"

[haadcode]

"The Log: What every software engineer should know about real-time data's unifying abstraction"

[haadcode]

"Using logs to build a solid data infrastructure (or: why dual writes are a bad idea)"

[RichardLitt]

Would be great to add these to a Markdown file or something, with notes. Are you taking notes?

[haadcode]

Indeed it would be great to have these in a Markdown file and categorized per topic! If anyone wants to do that, feel free to PR it, I'd be happy to merge it in.

Notes are in my head and they will eventually be written down as a spec/whitepaper for a generalized "Decentralized Database Protocol" based on orbit-db and the various papers and articles linked here.

"Pure Operation-Based Replicated Data Types"
