Last weeks, we have enhanced mORMot support to one of the more powerful AARM64 CPU available: the Ampere Altra CPU, as made available on the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure.
Long story short, this is an amazing hardware to run on server side, with performance close to what Intel/AMD offers, but with almost linear multi-core scalability. The FPC compiler is able to run good code on it, and our mORMot 2 library is able to use the hardware accelerated opcodes for AES, SHA2, and crc32/crc32c.

Good news!
The French company I work for, Tranquil IT, is hiring FPC / Lazarus / mORMot developers. Remote work possible.
I share below the Job Offer from my boss Vincent.
We look forward working with you on this great mORMot-powered project!

Debug information can be generated by compilers, to contain symbols and source code lines. This is very handy to have a meaningful stack trace on any problems like exceptions, at runtime.
The problem is that debug information can be huge. New code style with generics tends to increase this size into a bloated way...
On Delphi, mormot2tests generates a 4MB .map file;
on FPC, mormot2tests outputs a 20MB .dbg file in DWARF.
For Delphi, we propose our own binary .mab format which reduces this 4MB .map file into a 290KB .mab file since mORMot 1.
Now mORMot 2 can reduce a FPC debug file of 20MB into a 322KB .mab file!
And this .mab information can just be appended to the executable for single-file distribution, if needed, during the build. No need to distribute two files, potentially with synchronization issues.

HTTP(S) is the main protocol of the Internet.
We enhanced the mORMot 2 socket client to push its implementation into more use cases. The main new feature is perhaps WGET-like processing, with hashing, resuming, console feedback, and direct file download.

The .zip format is from last century, back to the early DOS days, but can still be found everywhere. It is even hidden when you run a .docx document, a .jar application, or any Android app!
It is therefore (ab)used not only as archive format, but as application file format / container - even if in this respect using SQLite3 may have much more sense.
We recently enhanced our mormot.core.zip.pas unit:

After a lot of work, our mORMot 2 fork is entering its testing phase.
The main /src/core /src/lib /src/net /src/db /src/orm /src/soa /src/app folders of our Source Code repository have been implemented.
Please check https://github.com/synopse/mORMot2 for the latest version of the source code. The README.md files on each folder would help you discover the new framework design, and the content of each unit.

EKON 24 just finished. "The conference for Delphi & more" was fully online this year, due to the viral context... But this was a great event, and I am very happy to have been part of it. Please find the slides on my two sessions: mORMot 2 Performance: from Delphi to AVX2 Of course, […]

Last weeks, we introduced REST, ORM and SOA process in the mORMot2 repository.
During this phase, we split the huge mORMot.pas unit into several mormot.rest.*.pas, mormot.orm.*.pas and mormot.soa.*.pas units, to follow SOLID principles.
But we also renamed the base types into something more consistent and easier to work with.
Forget about TSQLRecord or TSQLRest, discover TORM and TRest!

On server side, a lot of CPU is done processing conversions to or from text. Mainly JSON these days.
In mORMot, we take care a lot about performance, so we have
rewritten most conversion functions to have something faster than the Delphi or
FPC RTL can offer.
Only float to text conversion was not available. And RTL str/floattexttext
performance, at least under Delphi, is not consistent among platforms.
So we just added a new Double-To-Text set of functions.

First of all, if it was not clear enough: Delphi will continue to be supported in mORMot 2.0. Some people reported that our previous article may have been misleading. But perhaps not all versions. For sure, Delphi 5 and Kylix will not be supported in mORMot 2. It is also possible that it would not […]

The more I think of it, the more I am convinced it is time to change how the
framework is versioned.
We have version 1.18 since years... difficult to follow... time to upgrade!
I would like to upgrade mORMot to version 2 - with a major
refactoring.

I just finished my workshop at EKON 23.
Like every year, it was a great event to attempt to, and I enjoyed presenting 2
sessions and 1 workshop.
Sessions were about "Kingdom Driven Design" (KDD), which is the
name I used to define a cut-down version of "Domain Driven Design" (DDD).
Less paranoid, a bit less isolation, but perhaps more common sense for the less
sensitive projects.
Some presentations and code are now available!

I just found some very nice articles by Stephan Bester about first steps to mORMot's ORM and SOA.
Don't be scared by the mORMot: it is more stressed than you
are.

A long-awaited feature was the ability to create stand-alone mORMot Win64 applications via Delphi, with no external sqlite3-64.dll required.
It is now available, with proper integration, and encryption is working!

There are still some days to join EKON 23 conferences with the reduced price!
I will make 2 sessions, and 1 workshop, in English (my German is not good
enough), about practical project design and mORMot.
If you find DDD is a bit too much for you, but still want to write clean code,
check this!

Sometimes, I am asked what could be done with mORMot. Well, we've been using the library at LiveMon to analyse logs for example. And we're able to get speed of a few TB/sec. Speed above is no typo: TB/s not GB/s. For a regex search, not a per-word dictionary based lookup. With a cross-platform […]

We just committed a deep refactoring of the SynSQlite3Static.pas unit - and all units using static linking for FPC. It also includes a new encryption format for SQlite3, using AES, so much more secure than the previous one. This is a breaking change, so worth a blog article! Now all static .o .a […]

In the last weeks/months, we worked a lot with FPC.
Delphi is still our main IDE, due to its better debugging experience under
Windows, but we target to have premium support of FPC, on all platforms,
especially Linux.
The new Delphi Linux compiler is out of scope, since it is heavily priced,
its performance is not so good, and ARC broke memory management so would need a
deep review/rewrite of our source code, which we can't afford - since we have
FPC which is, from our
opinion, a much better compiler for Linux.
Of course, you can create clients for Delphi Linux and FMX, as usual, using
the cross-platform
client parts of mORMot. But for server side, this compiler is not
supported, and will probably never be.
