Show HN: SirixDB (Open Source/Java) – versioning through efficient snapshotting

I've already posted yesterday, but I'd really love to get comments, any kind of questions, suggestions and help would be greatly appreciated as it's an Open Source project of mine (and was for others during my studies at the University of Konstanz 6 years ago). Since then I spent countless ours to bring forth the idea of a versioned storage system, especially well suited for analytical tasks for timd-varying data. Especially I'd love to discuss what documentation you need, which next steps are necessary (JSON, Cloud...), API additions or changes... I've updated the README quiet a bit, such that the set up of the asynchronous, RESTful HTTP(S) Server is easier :-) however I could use some help with the Docker stuff. http://sirix.io Comments URL: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18779260 Points: 8 # Comments: 2 from Hacker News: Front Page http://bit.ly/2QYcpbd via
