Columnar Compression Without Columns
Learn how Sneller is able to achieve the advantages of columnar database compression on row-oriented, schemaless data.
Building a SQL VM in AVX-512 Assembly
One of Sneller’s novel features is a bytecode-based virtual machine written almost entirely in AVX-512 assembly. While Sneller is far from the first project to incorporate SIMD acceleration into a query engine, our interpreter is unusual in that it is implemented entirely in assembly.
Why We Built a Schemaless SQL Engine
JSON has become one of the most common data interchange formats. It’s challenging to store JSON in traditional column-based database engines, so we decided to implement a schemaless engine to fully support JSON.
Sneller cloud-native architecture
Explanation about the benefits of a cloud-native architecture that separates ingestion, storage and the actual query engine.
