Why HNSW is not the answer and disk-based alternatives might be more practical

HNSW (Hierarchical Navigable Small World) has become the go-to algorithm for many vector databases. Its multi-layered graph structure and ability to efficiently navigate vector embeddings make it particularly appealing. However, despite its apparent advantages, HNSW may not be the optimal solution for large-scale and dynamic vector similarity search. In this blog post, we challenge the dominance of HNSW and explore...
AI-Generated Code Requires a ‘Trust and Verify’ Approach

AI is the new frontier, and developers understand now is the time to embrace it if they haven’t already. This undeniable component of software development is changing the landscape of software development as we previously knew it. Adoption is now a table-stakes issue for any organization looking to meet the growing need for software in business. As that need continues to...
Use of Time in Distributed Databases (part 1)

Distributed systems are characterized by nodes executing concurrently with no shared state and no common clock. Coordination between nodes are needed to satisfy some correctness properties, but since coordination requires message communication there is a performance tradeoff preventing nodes from frequently communicating/coordinating.Timestamping and orderingWhy do the nodes, in particular database nodes, need coordinating anyway? The goal of coordination among nodes...
Web Development Trends in 2024: A Shift Back to Simplicity

The year in web development was characterized by a return to simpler ways of building a website or web application. Partly this was a reaction against the increasing complexity of JavaScript frameworks — especially React-based frameworks. Simpler options like Astro and Eleventy became more popular over 2024, leading some (well, me anyway) to posit that we’re approaching a post-React world. Of...
Fitch Group achieves multi-Region resiliency for mission-critical Kafka infrastructure with Amazon MSK Replicator

Real-time data streaming and event processing are critical components of modern distributed systems architectures. Apache Kafka has emerged as a leading platform for building real-time data pipelines and enabling asynchronous communication between microservices and applications. However, running and managing Kafka clusters at scale can be challenging, requiring specialized expertise and significant operational overhead. Amazon Managed Streaming for Apache Kafka (Amazon...

I just got a notice from Manning that my book SOA patterns will be featured as “deal of the day” on Apr 14th – that means that it will be available for 50% off starting Midnight US ET of April 14th (and considering it’s a world-wide offer it would actually last for more than 24 hours).

To get the 50% discount use code dotd0414au at www.manning.com/rotem

If you’re not familiar with my book (which I guess is unlikely if you’re reading my blog, but anyway), you might want to check out the SOA Patterns page on my site, read one or more of the pattern draft or check out the book reviews.
