I have not run OrientDB in production but spent the last month converting my application from mysql --> Orient. I know that Luca Garulli has been developing this since 1999 or '97 or so and that it's made available under the Apache 2.0 license.
He has personally responded quite helpfully to my questions as well as many others very promptly on several occaisons. With regards to performance OrientDB is supposedly an absolute monster. Their benchmarks had a single server storing 150,000 - 200,000 per second on a modest server! This is because the graph part of the database eliminates the need for JOINS to relate your data. The relation is directly attatched to whatever it is you are relating to something else. My experience testing on a very small scale during my app. conversion has shown OrientDB pulling data I need in 1-7 milliseconds where mysql took about 80-90. Combined with Gremlin the graph traversal language, the SQL syntax of OrientDB + Gremlin allows powerful analysis of your data. As more performance comparisons become available I will post them. -David Bloom On Aug 31, 4:11 pm, Vasile Ermicioi <elff...@gmail.com> wrote: > btw, did you test orientdb in production, or at least some performance tests > against other databases?
