ZipBurstTM
ZipBurst, written in C, is a powerful, multi-threaded NoSQL, MVCC database/search engine with location-based components used to create custom
location-based and non-location-based data driven web solutions.
Of note, ZipBurst was licensed by Apple to run the "Where to Buy" feature for Apple.com US: 2003-2008 and Canada: 2003-2009.
It was also licensed 2001-2011 for other uses within Apple.
In addition to the multi-threaded database engine, ZipBurst utilizes two custom progamming languages and interpreters: one to merge
database search results with templates for custom reports, and another to enable a microcode-like
fine tuning of searches from within the database kernel. Of note is that both languages can
embed code of the other to take advantage of their different capabilities.
Database tables / files may be uploaded to the server as static data from other development systems or hosted "live".
Because the underlying storage uses Multi-Version Concurency Control (MVCC), live files
have the option of being searched at a specific time in the life of the database. This permits the database to be modified independent of
ongoing queries that may require a consistent view of the data.
