Comdb2 is Bloomberg's open-source clustered relational database management system built on optimistic concurrency control. It supports multiple isolation levels including snapshot and serializable, with clients transparently connecting to the lowest-latency node and reconnecting on failure.
Use cases
- run a distributed SQL database across a cluster of machines
- need snapshot or serializable isolation in a relational database
- transparent failover and reconnect for database clients
- self-hosted alternative to commercial clustered RDBMS
- low-latency transactional reads and writes on any cluster node
When to choose
- you need a clustered RDBMS with strong isolation guarantees
- you want transparent client failover across database nodes
- you're comfortable running and operating your own database infrastructure
When to avoid
- you need a mainstream database with a large ecosystem and community
- you require managed cloud database services
- your workload is a simple single-node application where SQLite or Postgres suffices
