Metadb is a new streaming data integration platform that will eventually replace the Library Data Platform (LDP 1.x) software used by FOLIO project participants for reporting on FOLIO data. Metadb is still under development. Some institutions are running early versions of Metadb for testing purposes. The Cornell Library is currently running LDP 1.x on its production reporting database to provide users with access to FOLIO data for reporting.
Data updates
The LDP software provides reporting users with a copy of yesterday's data from the FOLIO application server. Metadb will provide continuously streaming data updates from the FOLIO application server. This will provide reporting users with access to FOLIO data in near real time instead of yesterday's data. While LDP 1.x's architecture is limited to running on a single node, Metadb's architecture is horizontal, allowing for linear scaling of data updates.
