This is a guest post by Srushtika Neelakantam , Developer Advovate for Ably Realtime, a realtime data delivery platform. You can view the original article—H ow to implement consistent hashing efficiently —on Ably's blog.

A common question that I get is why do we offer so many database products? The answer for me is simple: Developers want their applications to be well architected and scale effectively. To do this, they need to be able to use multiple databases and data models within the same application. Seldom can one database fit the needs of multiple distinct use cases.

Since then, many people in the TiDB community have been asking for more information about TiSpark. In this post, I will explain the motivation, inner workings, and future roadmap of this project.

I like to joke that one day I’m going to get a Phd in economics and make my thesis the cost to global GDP of the tabs vs spaces debate. There’s a great episode of Silicon Valley about it. Unfortunately, while the show does exaggerate some things for comedic effect, the brilliance of that show is how close it hits to home. For those who don’t know what the debate is about, developers can indent their code with spaces where it will look like this: Or they can indent their code where it will look l
