Introducing ScopeDB: Manage Data in Petabytes for An Observability Platform
· 12 min read
TL;DR
ScopeDB is a database built directly on top of S3 and unleashes the power of cloud elasticity and workload isolation. ScopeDB servers are launched with a single, stateless Rust binary; thus, it does not need to manage local disks, data sharding, or complex leader election. ScopeDB achieves ten times cost efficiency and performance improvement compared to databases built with shared-nothing architecture by delegating data replication to S3 and dynamically adjusting the number of servers based on the workload.
If you're eager to dive right in, you can try out our playground:
git clone https://github.com/scopedb/community.git
docker compose -f ./community/playground/docker-compose.yml up -d
docker run -it --rm --entrypoint /bin/scopeql --network host scopedb/scopedb
Otherwise, let's begin with the story!
