Thrudb: Not just me anymore

January 6th, 2008

Thrudb has gotten a lot of attention recently (thanks Ilya).

I’m glad people are taking the time to install all of the dependencies and kick the tires. As a result I’ve been fielding a lot of question about Thrudb’s design and implementation. Please keep them coming!

What I didn’t realize was ex-amazon employee Ross McFarland, who architected their digital media content backend, was altering the thrudoc code base to create a similar yet, enhanced thrudoc which he had been thinking about for some time called diststore. When Ross contacted me he had already added a mysql backend and altered the api to add document collections.

Since then hes added a berkleydb backend and ported the thrudoc disk and s3 backends over.

I’m really impressed with the quality of Ross’s code and his clear vision for a document storage service. I’m happy to announce we’ve decided to join forces and will soon be releasing a substantial update to thrudoc incorporating Ross’s changes.

I’m glad to have his support and will soon be focusing my efforts on thrucene and throxy services.

Welcome Ross!
