FairCom DB v13 release
Overview of the v13 release of FairCom DB
FairCom is pleased to release version 13 of FairCom DB. It includes a new API called JSON DB, which returns all records as JSON documents and uses JSON to manage all operations on databases, tables, indexes, records, cursors, and transactions.
The release also includes a new DB Notify feature, which captures data changes in FairCom DB and sends them as JSON documents to MQTT subscribers, delivering real-time data changes to any software system.
V13 continues FairCom's commitment to improving performance, scalability, and security with optimistic locking, cache priming, dynamic cache resizing, background index optimization, faster batch operations, faster SQL, SQL cursors, recycle bin, millions of open files, 4K file names, FIPS-compliant OpenSSL 1.3, certificate management, client certificate authentication, signed Windows and MacOS binaries, tamper-proof-insert-only tables, read-only servers, and high-availability through Linux Pacemaker and Windows Server Failover Clustering.

DB Notify captures data changes and delivers them to subscribers as JSON messages for easy integration into any software system. Software can also read the event log to process changes as batch jobs. | |
FairCom MQ is a next-generation messaging solution that guarantees message delivery in order. It combines the simplicity of a mission-critical MQTT broker with the batch processing capabilities of an event streaming platform, such as Kafka. FairCom MQ is uniquely capable of transforming data in real-time, routing MQTT messages to multiple topics, and using SQL and the JSON DB API to query and send messages. | |
