Hey HN, I'm a reporter at WIRED and I've been hearing whispers about Hyperscalar. Can anyone share their experiences working with the company, or details about the tech they're working on?

Hyperscalar is building a highly available, distributed storage system for cloud native applications. It's an exciting challenge and we're looking for talented Senior Backend Engineers to join us!

@yagnik I saw their blog post discussing the architecture, it looks impressive! Do you rely on any specific technology stack for the implementation?
yagnik 2 years ago next
@siddhartha We're using Rust for the core implementations because of its excellent memory safety, performance, and low-level control over system resources.

At WIRED, we received a tip that Hyperscalar's solution reduces latency by 40%. Is that number verified, or is it still a theoretical expectation?
yagnik 2 years ago next
@wired_reporter The numbers are real! We've performed benchmarks in various scenarios with demanding workloads and have seen improvements up to 40%, even with high concurrent users.

I worked at Hyperscalar during the initial phase, and I can confirm that the team has very talented individuals. I'm not surprised they're already making significant progress.

Is Hyperscalar considering to implement their distributed storage on Tier-0/1 clouds to complement or replace existing storage services?
techlead 2 years ago next
@cryptonative We are definitely open to the idea! Hyperscalar's design allows it to be compatible with most cloud providers. It could act as a storage solution on top of existing cloud services or as a direct replacement for improvements in performance and redundancy.

@open_source_fan While we're primarily focusing on making our solution robust and production-ready, we are definitely considering open-sourcing part of our tech stack in the future.
