BaikalDB, OpenRASP, EasyFaaS: Baidu Open Source - Part 2
With this second from the series of articles on the Baidu Open Source » We will continue our exploration of the catalog of open apps developed by the Technological Giant de «Baidu, Inc. ».
In order to continue expanding our knowledge of the open applications released by each of the Technological Giants of the group known as GAFAM (Google, Apple, Facebook, Amazon and Microsoft) and others such as: "Alibaba, Baidu, Huawei, Netflix, Samsung, Tencent, Xiaomi, Yahoo and Yandex".
For those interested in exploring our initial publication related to the topic, you can click on the following link, after finishing reading this publication:
“Today, both public and private organizations are progressively moving towards a greater integration of Free Software and Open Source to their business models, platforms, products and services. That is to say, free and open technologies are increasingly an important part of the way of working in and out of them, for the benefit of their owners, clients or citizens.

BaikalDB, OpenRASP, EasyFaaS: BOS-P2
Applications of the Baidu Open Source
The official website of Baidu Open Source (BOS) on GitHub, hosts many projects. In addition, there are many other registered open projects of that company in the Awesome Open Source: The Top Baidu Open Source Projects. Open projects, which we will explore later.
From "Baidu Open Source" on GitHub, these are the following Apps from the list that we will explore:
BaikalDB
Briefly, on its official website within the "Baidu Open Source - GitHub" describe this application as follows:
"BaikalDB is a Distributed HTAP Database."
Note: HTAP comes from the English phrase «Hybrid transactional / analytical processing», which in Spanish means «Hybrid Transactional and Analytical Processing». And whose technology consists of doing data analysis (analytics) directly on production data in real time.
In addition, the following is added to it:
“BaikalDB supports real-time sequential and random read / write of petabyte-scale structural data. BaikalDB is compatible with the MySQL protocol and supports the MySQL-style SQL dialect, so users can migrate their data storage from MySQL to BaikalDB without problems. "
Note: More detailed and useful information can be found directly on the following link, in English.
OpenRASP
Briefly, on its official website within the "Baidu Open Source - GitHub" describe this application as follows:
"It is an open source RASP Solution."
Note: RASP comes from the English phrase «Runtime Application Self-Protection«, Which in Spanish means« Self-protection of applications in execution time (real time) ». And whose technology is used to protect web applications. Unlike WAF (Web Application Firewalls) technology that offers a perimeter protection approach, RASP protects applications from within. This means that RASP technology achieves much greater visibility into the flow of data and the consequences of each input an application receives.
While his Official website, in Chinese, add the following over it, like this:
"OpenRASP is an open source implementation of RASP technology, which can accurately identify anomalies in applications, such as code injection and deserialization, without relying on the characteristics of the request, which can compensate for the lagging problem of protection of traditional equipment. "
Note: More detailed and useful information can be found directly on the following link, in English.
EasyFaaS
Briefly, on its official website within the "Baidu Open Source - GitHub" describe this application as follows:
"EasyFaaS is a functional computing service engine with light dependency, high adaptability, low resource occupancy, stateless, and high performance.. "
In addition, the following is added to it:
“EasyFaaS is only based on the Linux kernel and does not force dependence on external services such as Docker and Kubernetes. It can run in a variety of system environments, including Docker, Kubernetes, and bare metal, among others. "
Summary
We hope this "useful little post" on this second exploration of the «Baidu Open Source», offers an interesting and wide variety of open applications developed by the Technological Giant of «Baidu, Inc.»; and is of great interest and utility, for the entire «Comunidad de Software Libre y Código Abierto» and of great contribution to the diffusion of the wonderful, gigantic and growing ecosystem of applications of «GNU/Linux».
