Show HN: OrioleDB Beta12 Features and Benchmarks


Since our last public update, OrioleDB has continued to evolve with a series of new releases. These updates refine the core engine, extend functionality, and improve performance across a range of workloads. Together, they move us closer to a beta release and lay the groundwork for broader adoption.

It is designed to address scalability bottlenecks in PostgreSQL’s buffer manager and reduces the WAL, enabling better utilization of modern multi-core CPUs and high‑performance storage systems. By rethinking core components such as MVCC, page caching, and checkpoints, OrioleDB improves throughput and predictability in transactional workloads without altering PostgreSQL’s user-facing behavior. The instance used for running the load test was located in the same AWS region (but in an different AZ) as the Supabase database to reduce the side effects of network latency, and to keep the scenario realistic.
