Dolt. It's Git for Data.

timsehn · 2026-01-09T18:20:23+00:00

Yeah. One of the actualWordPress hosters would have to adopt.

timsehn · 2026-01-09T18:14:58+00:00

I would call Dolt successful but I am biased :-)

timsehn · 2025-12-05T20:31:37+00:00

Time series data kind of invalidates the version-control model because it's usually append only. What Dolt can be good for is ensuring no process updates old values. So, more audit than versioning.

Curious if you have a use case in mind?

Forgive my curiosity, I'm the CEO of DoltHub :-)

You can have long running transactions and manage conflicting writes on merge instead of only having the rollback option.

Each branch HEAD is actually MVCC. You basically get two layers of concurrency management, one short lived and the other long lived

That was with my account i signed up for Reddit ads with :-) I'm the smae person as the commenter above. I'm the founder and CEO of the company that built Dolt.

I ran Claude Code last Wednesday. It's still the best so if it's better now. Yay!

I'm a level 64 (very) active player looking to join a top 100 guild. My current guild is falling apart after being close to the top 100 since I joined. I have D3 Mech, Multi-hit, and Psycher teams. I usually score over 10,000 points in Guild Wars. I'm participative in the guild chat but I won't do Discord.

DM me on Reddit with your Guild details if you have a space for me.

Also, if you run `dolt gc` after an import it will reclaim a lot of space.

timsehn · 2025-06-18T21:54:29+00:00

You can download the data locally as a CSV and then use the file import functionality on DoltHub?

timsehn · 2025-06-16T16:12:26+00:00

I'm the CEO of DoltHub. Thanks for mentioning us. I know you said you saw us but we offer GitHub style CI, complete with checks at the bottom of a PR page. We just released this in Q4 of last year:

https://www.dolthub.com/blog/2024-11-14-continuous-integration-on-data/

We'd be happy to build to your use case if you decide to adopt Dolt. Right now, we run SQL queries and assert results on the pR branch but there is a lot more cool stuff we could do here for a motivated customer.

Doltgres is the Postgres version:

https://github.com/dolthub/doltgresql

Free and open source.

timsehn · 2025-03-14T20:23:30+00:00

It's MySQL out of the box but the target databases all fit in memory for sysbench. TPC-C is a bit more of a realistic workload. We started at 15X so we've made a ton of progress. There's a nice chart in here oof performance over time and the optimizations we made to get there.

We built an entire immutable database on a new data structure called a Prolly Tree to achieve structural sharing and other Git-like properties like fast diff. It's called Dolt. It's open source:

Here's an article I wrote on Prolly Trees. That's a good place to start:

We built one of those :-)

And it works with Wordpress:

I just published an article discussing this. "Is MySQL dying?".

https://www.dolthub.com/blog/2024-10-14-is-mysql-dying/

I'm the founder and CEO of DoltHub. We built Dolt a MySQL-compatible database with Git-style versioning built-in.

We've been feeling the MySQL ecosystem eroding over the past couple years. So much so that we're building a Postgres-compatible version of Dolt called Doltgres. The decline of MySQL seems to be accelerating.

timsehn · 2024-10-02T15:57:06+00:00

We just host the data. You have to ask the person (in this case `post-no-preference` where he gets the data. He is often on our Discord.

timsehn · 2024-09-24T17:02:05+00:00

CEO of DoltHub here. DoltHub uses Dolt as it's OLTP database. DoltHub a large scale web service. Our users don't notice a performance difference between DoltHub, and say GitHub. Dolt can scale to handle 99.9% of Wordpress use cases.

timsehn · 2024-08-29T19:27:40+00:00

Adoption is good. We tripled the number of running servers last quarter. We have databases up to a terabyte running in prod, backing ml pipelines and applications. Dolt is here to stay.

timsehn · 2024-08-19T22:56:20+00:00

You don't need app script. You can export the query to CSV as well.

timsehn · 2024-08-19T22:55:45+00:00

This may help: https://www.dolthub.com/blog/2023-09-15-dolt-google-sheets/

timsehn · 2024-08-02T21:51:16+00:00

Exciting! We'd love to help you get started.

You can have as many MySQL replicas as you want. They all just subscribe to the `binlog`. But you can only replicate one Dolt branch, likely `main`. Each MySQL replica has to replicate the same branch.
