The vision of the founders of Hyper was to create a high-performing, next-generation database; one system, one state, no trade-offs, and no delays. And it worked out. Hyper today can serve general database purposes, data ingestion, and analytics at the same time.
If we go back in time, in 1996 1 GB of data cost $45,000. Today, much more than that can be found on every phone, or even on a smartwatch, costing $2. Memory prices have decreased exponentially. The same goes for CPUs; transistor counts increased according to Moore's law, while other features stagnated. Memory is cheap, but processing still needs to be improved.
Moore's Law is the observation made by Intel co-founder Gordon Moore that the number of transistors on a chip doubles every two years while the costs are halved. In 1965, Gordon Moore noticed that the number of transistors...
