Handling huge amounts of data is literally impossible without having some sort of relationship to NoSQL database systems, such as Cassandra or ScyllaDB. The reasons are because these database systems are created to scale linearly, implying they’re just as fast with a billion records as they are with 50 records. Hence, building things such as Twitter or Facebook is impossible without the ability to use NoSQL. Hyperlambda has always suffered from lack of official support for such NoSQL database systems. However, yesterday that change with the release of Magic version 10.0.19. Out of the box you can now as of the latest release of Magic and Hyperlambda connect to any Scylla or Cassandra based cluster, retrieve records, and do any of the main CRUD operations towards your data storage. And as an additional kicker you can exchange the default RDBMS based logger with a NoSQL equivalent. The thing I am personally most jazzed about though, is the ability to exchange the file system with a «virtual file system». This is because it allows you to create and maintain 100% perfectly stateless Magic instances, put these into containers, and use Kubernetes to load balance between hundreds of Magic instances if you wish — Yet still have these behave as one single instance.
