Small Objects, Big Gains: Benchmarking Tigris Against AWS S3 and Cloudflare R2

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-11-23 14:25:24

One of Tigris's standout capabilities is its performance when storing and retrieving small objects. To quantify this advantage, we benchmarked Tigris against two popular object stores—AWS S3 and Cloudflare R2—and found that Tigris consistently delivers higher throughput and lower latency. These gains let you use a single store for everything from tiny payloads to multi-gigabyte blobs without sacrificing efficiency. Under the hood, Tigris accelerates small-object workloads by (i) inlining very s

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-11-23 12:49:15

Many ask themselves, "Why would I use a semantic layer? What is it anyway?" In this hands-on guide, we’ll build the simplest possible semantic layer using just a YAML file and a Python script—not as the goal itself, but as a way to understand the value of semantic layers. We’ll then query 20 million NYC taxi records with consistent business metrics executed using DuckDB and Ibis. By the end, you’ll know exactly when a semantic layer solves real problems and when it’s overkill. It's a topic that

Oncologists at the Inova Schar Cancer Institute in Virginia conducted the study, which examined the colons of relatively young people who had run several long-distance races. They found these runners had a much higher rate of having potentially dangerous adenomas (a type of polyp) than would be expected for their age. Though the

The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) continues to bear fruit. Images captured by the floating watchtower revealed a previously unknown moon orbiting Uranus. The discovery, made on February 2, increases the planet's moon tally to 29. The moon was easy to miss: It's only an estimated six miles wide. It's located about 35,000 miles from Uranus' center, orbiting the planet's equatorial plane. The moon has a nearly circular orbit, suggesting it could have formed near its current location. NASA's s

Meta’s First ‘Real’ Smart Glasses Have One Huge Problem

Not only did Google’s smart glasses, with their bordering-on-novel camera, present new and somewhat icky questions about personal privacy, but they also crossed an even more controversial line: they looked really, really dorky.
