It’s not at that stage yet. They’re presenting a paper on it so far and that’s about it. They might open it up after the research phase is over, fingers crossed.
“We are in research pase” is a bad reason not to show code. It’s a bad reason before you get a paper out, but it’s an even worse reason once you had your publication confirmed (and indeed the authors mention that they got an ICDE18 paper out of this work). Research is about sharing ideas in the open, and talking proudly about your work on a specific software prototype without giving the sources is a douche move.
these folks have a decent pedigree both with respect to research and open sourcing their code. I haven’t looked closely at the paper yet, but the numbers seem non crazy. that said, as with all the work in this particular sub area, consistency models mean everything, and the words “flexibly consistent” a guaranteed to be doing a lot of work.
This is great news! Redis seems to me as one of the best engineered “low level” DB, so the claim to outperform it by a 10x factor is definitely very interesting. They are certainly doing a good job at teasing us with these promising results!
This looks potentially interesting, but I’d be much more interested if I could actually find source code for it…

It sounds almost too good to be true. I find it weird when researchers claim things that no one can reproduce. So much for transparency.
