so quiet in here. Has anybody started trying to use crux in anger that isn't a juxt'er?

@hoppy hey, I haven't looked again in the last 4 weeks, but the last time I searched around on GitHub I found a few interesting things: https://github.com/mjul/crux-db-lab https://github.com/zirmite/crux-fun (just a template, by the looks of it) https://github.com/harold/docbrown ("An application for time-traveling source exploration")

I have a potential donor project that I'm giving some serious consideration to trying out on crux.

It's backing store is pure s**t, maintained for compatibilty/interop with an ancient (circa '70s) desktop app. It's sort of a CRM/ERP system, and has probably 100'ish ISAM tables.

need to move to something, and this is about the neatest thing I've seen in awhile.

Wow, sounds intriguing! If there's anything at all we can do to help you figure things out we're very happy to chat 🙂

I got vexxed using DT for exactly the bi-temporal issues that seem to drive crux. I have historical (log-style) data that has to be fit back in, and I have to do it piecemeal as I go.

I was pondering how to weave all this together against a TX timeline, and that made my head hurt.

@taylor.jeremydavid, are you juxtian?

🙂 yep, I'm the Offering Managing (a.k.a. product manager)

oh, star of he podcasts.

haha 😅

nice job on daniels - got through that this am

Thanks! I am super happy with how well-rounded that one turned out

I'm psyched to get into it. We've been about 3 years dragging this boat-anchor around getting to the point of being able to turn off the old system

What you described about CRM/ERP migration reminds me of some great comments I read on that "Salesforce is buying Tableau for $15.7B" HN thread.

I'm a niche in a niche in a niche

I think we all are! I have to run now, but I looking forward to chatting again soon, and feel free to ping me if you fancy a video call sometime

so despite all the PR, I'm still unclear on one point. If I have, say a 20K document, and change one field, what does crux store, the whole thing again, or a delta?

run if you must, I was mid-sentance on that.

Haha, that's an easy one

It stores the whole thing again

ok, that gives me planning fodder.

Maybe you can run Kafka on ZFS 😉

don't make big docs, make little ones that relate

yep it's a balancing act for sure, but we're hoping to create a subgraph decorator that will make splitting your documents apart (and accessing them again) more seamless

My stuff is currently fragged to the max, so it would likely fit the mold

It's from a world where 10MB was a big deal

Go run away since you need to. We need to talk more about what I should do for a backing store. I managed to get rocks workiing on linux, but I need a windows story.

Kafaka too much for this. We are 5-30 user, single server stuff.
