A bit surprised to find no mention of the GPU database field (ie: https://www.mapd.com/demos/, etc) because straight SQL on this hardware is extremely fast when optimized. Feels like all this NoSQL stuff came around when developers no longer wanted to deal w/ DBAs and do full stack(s) on their own. DBAs spent long hours on DDL and DML (stored procedures) for a good reason.


I'd mention an actual capable SQL database a lot before MapD...

Like SQream or Kinetica
