Mode, a startup that’s trying to be something like a GitHub for data scientists, has added new features to its collaboration platform that make it easier to write SQL queries and share the resulting reports. While that news in itself might not be too interesting, the company claims the new stuff represents a major upgrade for a service already popular among some well-known users. The new features,

eBay open sources a big, fast SQL-on-Hadoop database – Old GigaOm
Online auction site eBay has open sourced a database technology called Kylin that the company says enables fast queries over even petabytes of data stored in Hadoop. eBay isn’t a big data user on par with companies like Google and Facebook, but it does run technologies such as Hadoop at a fairly large scale and Kylin seems a good example of the type of innovation it’s doing on top of them. eBay de
Treasure Data raises $5M, fuses Hadoop and data warehouse in Amazon’s cloud – Old GigaOm

Heroku targets MongoDB with new Postgres V8 feature – Old GigaOm
Heroku has rolled out a new feature in its Heroku Postgres service that lets the database act a lot more like NoSQL fave MongoDB. It’s probably good news for Heroku’s revenues and database customers, although possibly less so for the MongoDB-based services that the platform-as-a-service provider also supports. In a nutshell, the new feature, called PL/V8 is Google’s V8 engine for running JavaScrip
EMC to Hadoop competition: “See ya, wouldn’t wanna be ya.” – Old GigaOm
If, like many industry watchers, you’ve been confused about EMC Greenplum’s (s emc) Hadoop strategy over the past couple years, Scott Yara has a message for you: “We’re all in on Hadoop, period.” Yara, Greenplum’s co-founder and senior vice president of products, has a not-so-coded message for his big data market competitors, too. Put simply, he doesn’t think they stand a chance against his compan
FedEx CIO shares his thoughts on the architecture required for “epic data” – Old GigaOm
Shipping powerhouse FedEx (s fdx) has been generating big data for years, but now it’s prepping for the future.

Cloud databases 101: Who builds ’em and what they do – Old GigaOm
Remember when there were just two or three cloud computing platforms to choose from, and just about as many cloud databases? Well, as clouds have proliferated, so have the database services built on top of them. In fact, it’s getting hard to keep up with what’s actually available. Here’s a primer highlighting the available services (note, we’re talking managed database services, not database insta
Heroku builds Postgres app for Mac users – Old GigaOm
Platform-as-a-service poster child Heroku (s crm) is doubling down on the PostgreSQL database. The company, which built its platform atop Postgres and offers the Heroku Postgres database service, has now built an app that makes it easy for Mac (s aapl) users to download and get started using the database. While the app, aptly named Postgres.app, isn’t directly tied to Heroku’s platform or its data
Well played, EMC. – Old GigaOm
EMC (s emc) might be smarter than we thought it was. You already know the news — Paul Maritz out as VMware CEO, in as EMC chief strategist. Pat Gelsinger, former EMC COO, now in as VMware CEO. The companies are planning to spin out their cloud computing and big data assets into a separate company. If EMC handles this transition well, the companies under its banner could do great things. Of course,

Here are some of the interesting use cases we’ve written about over th
Apple launches iCloud; here’s what powers it – Old GigaOm
Apple (s aapl) officially launched its much-hyped iCloud suite of services at its Worldwide Developer Conference Monday, and although the capabilities are sure to be the talk of the town among consumers, it’s Apple’s cloud infrastructure that makes it all work. Apple CEO Steve Jobs said as much during his WWDC keynote by closing with an image of — and shout-out to — the company’s new iDataCenter i
Why MapR Is Right to Give Back to Apache Hadoop – Old GigaOm
Big data startup MapR is now an official corporate contributor to the Apache Hadoop project, a somewhat interesting turn of affairs given its corporate mission to lure users away from Apache’s Hadoop Distributed File System. Although this might seem like an odd partnership — even more so now after EMC (s emc) announced MapR as the storage foundation for its Apache Hadoop alternative — it demonstra
