InterSystems has been at the forefront of database technology since its inception, pioneering innovations that consistently outperform competitors like Oracle, IBM, and Microsoft. By focusing on an efficient kernel design and embracing a no-compromise approach to data performance, InterSystems has carved out a niche in mission-critical applications, ensuring reliability, speed, and scalability. A History of Technical Excellence During its earlier years, InterSystems distinguished itself through its groundbreaking database architecture, which addressed inefficiencies in legacy relational database systems. While competitors like Oracle relied on rigid relational designs, InterSystems introduced a multi-model database powered by its proprietary kernel. This innovation allowed data to be handled as tables, objects, multidimensional arrays, or key-value pairs—all within a unified database engine. The result was a significant performance improvement for transactional workloads compared to conventional databases. These capabilities laid the foundation for InterSystems' dominance in industries such as healthcare and finance, where systems must handle vast amounts of data without compromising speed or accuracy. Staying Competitive Against Industry Giants Despite competition from publicly traded companies with vast resources, such as AWS and Microsoft, InterSystems remains a trusted provider for mission-critical applications. This enduring trust stems from its technical superiority and a laser-focused commitment to its customers. A Kernel Built for Reliability and Low Latency At the core of InterSystems IRIS is its kernel, a high-performance engine designed to maximize speed, reliability, and scalability. Unlike competitors who rely on external layers or middleware for performance scaling, the IRIS kernel integrates key features like data indexing, journaling, and caching natively, ensuring low-latency performance under extreme workloads. Journaling and Crash Recovery: Advanced journaling techniques in the IRIS kernel minimize recovery times, enabling systems to restore to a consistent state within seconds, even in catastrophic scenarios. Competing solutions often suffer from slower recovery times, which can result in costly downtime. Scalability with ECP and Sharding: InterSystems IRIS outperforms its rivals by enabling horizontal scalability with Enterprise Cache Protocol (ECP) and data sharding. This allows organizations like Epic Systems, a healthcare software giant, to manage millions of daily healthcare transactions reliably. Trusted for Mission-Critical Applications Industries like healthcare and finance, where failure is not an option, continue to rely on InterSystems. For example, the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs and Credit Suisse trust IRIS to deliver consistent, high-performance data handling. This trust is underpinned by InterSystems’ ability to process millions of transactions per second with deterministic latency, far outperforming AWS’s Aurora in transaction-heavy use cases. Customer-Centric Innovation Unlike publicly traded competitors, InterSystems reinvests heavily in research and development instead of focusing on shareholder returns. This focus has driven innovations like IntegratedML, which embeds machine learning directly into the database, and Multi-Model Data Access, which eliminates the need for costly ETL pipelines. Positioned for the Age of AI As artificial intelligence reshapes industries, the demand for high-performance, scalable data systems has reached unprecedented levels. InterSystems IRIS, with its optimized kernel and inherent scalability, is uniquely positioned to meet these demands. Speed and Low-Latency Performance In AI applications, where milliseconds matter, InterSystems IRIS excels by leveraging in-memory processing and intelligent indexing to minimize latency. Benchmarks reveal that InterSystems IRIS was between 2.7 and 3.1 times more efficient than AWS Aurora MySQL and the efficiency advantage grew larger as the number of nodes in the cluster increased. . Effortless Scalability for Compute-Intensive Workloads InterSystems IRIS supports vertical scaling for high-core systems and horizontal scaling through sharding and ECP. This architecture allowed Mass General Brigham to scale its healthcare data platform, enabling seamless integration of over 100 million patient records across its network of hospitals and clinics. By leveraging InterSystems IRIS, Mass General Brigham achieved rapid query performance and real-time insights, critical for clinical decision support and population health analytics. Co-Located Data for AI and Analytics By integrating operational and analytical workloads within the same environment, InterSystems eliminates the need for ETL processes that introduce latency and complexity. This capability allows AI models to access live datasets instantly, accelerating workflows in industries like supply chain and manufacturing. AI-Ready Integration InterSystems IRIS integrates seamlessly with Python, IntegratedML, and popular AI frameworks like TensorFlow and PyTorch. These integrations enable organizations to deploy AI models directly within the database environment, reducing overhead and latency compared to traditional approaches that require moving data to external systems. Hard Numbers That Matter Performance Benchmarks: Test results demonstrate a large advantage in performance for InterSystems IRIS when compared to AWS Aurora MySQL, MariaDB, Microsoft SQL Server, Oracle and PostgreSQL. The insert rate for InterSystems IRIS was between 1.7 times and 9 times faster than for the other systems. The data query rate for InterSystems IRIS was between 1.1 times and 600 times faster than for the other systems. Scalability: The IRIS kernel supports the ingestion of millions of transactions per second, making it ideal for global enterprises. Real-World Impact: Over 1 billion health records globally are managed using InterSystems technology, demonstrating unmatched scalability and reliability. Conclusion InterSystems’ unique kernel design and multi-decade commitment to innovation have cemented its place as a leader in mission-critical systems. Whether handling healthcare transactions for Epic, powering financial systems for Harris Associates, or enabling real-time AI applications, InterSystems IRIS consistently delivers unmatched speed, reliability, and scalability. As industries embrace the computational demands of AI, InterSystems remains the trusted partner for organizations that cannot afford to compromise. Daniel, Excellent article both from a historical and current perspective! Rich Very interesting insights. Thank you great reminder for why I've loved this technology and company for the past 22 years :) In a historical context:- the Kernel is essentially MUMPS- ECP (DCP), the Cache Object model (NextGen) and the concept of Namespaces, Databases and Mappings came originally from DataTree'Beating' Oracle/ SQLServer et al, is piece of cake for IRIS.What I am more worried about is 'new' technologies such as "Eventual Consistent" synchronization on large clusters.I think IRIS could do more on clustering techniques.

Hello Community, In this article, I will outline and illustrate the process of implementing ObjectScript within embedded Python. This discussion will also reference other articles related to embedded Python, as well as address questions that have been beneficial to my learning journey. As you may know, the integration of Python features within IRIS has been possible for quite some time. This article will focus on how to seamlessly incorporate ObjectScript with embedded Python. Essentially, embedded Python serves as an extension that allows for independent writing and execution. It enables the seamless integration of Python code with ObjectScript and vice versa, allowing both to run within the same context. This functionality significantly enhances the capabilities of your implementation. To begin, you must specify the language for your Python code within the class definition by using the "language" keyword [language = "python"]. Once this is done, you are prepared to write your Python code. import iris - The iris package is a vital Python library that facilitates communication with InterSystems' native API classes, routines, globals, and SQL. This package is readily available by default. Anyway It is necessary to import this package at the beginning of your python code if you're going to interact with IRIS. Few important notes before writing You can use python special variable __name__ to refer the classname inside the class definition. Use _ for %Methods ex: %New == _New , %OpenId == _OpenId Let's begin Class members implementation in Embedded python 1. Objects and Properties This section is essential as it will cover the process of initializing a new object, altering the values of existing objects, and configuring properties in both static and dynamic contexts. Create your own class definition and use the simple literal properties 1.1 initialize new Object / Modify existing object Use _New for initiate new object and _OpenId(id) for edit the existing object ClassMethod SaveIRISClsObject() [ Language = python ] { #this method calls the %OnNew callback method and get the object import iris try: iris_obj = iris.cls(__name__)._New() if not iris.cls(__name__).IsObj(iris_obj): #IsObj is the objectscript wrapper method : which contains $Isobject() raise ReferenceError('Object Initlize Error') except ReferenceError as e: print(e) return #set the object properties and save the values iris_obj.Name = 'Ashok' iris_obj.Phone = 9639639635 status = iris_obj._Save() print(status) return status } 1.2 Accessing properties Prior to commencing the property section, it is important to note that the IRIS data type differs from Python data types, and therefore, IRIS collection data types cannot be utilized directly within Python. To address this, InterSystems has offered a comprehensive solution for converting IRIS data types into Python-compatible formats such as lists, sets, and tuples. This can be achieved by importing the "builtins" module within the IRIS code base, utilizing the class methods ##class(%SYS.Python).Builtins() or by setting builtins = ##class(%SYS.Python).Import("builtins"). I'll cover this in upcoming sections. So, I use this method to convert the $LB properties into python list for accessing the properties at runtime in python LEARNING>Set pyList = ##class(%SYS.Python).ToList($LB("Name","Phone","City")) LEARNING>zw pyListpyList=5@%SYS.Python ; ['Name', 'Phone', 'City'] ; <OREF> ClassMethod GetProperties() [Language = objectscript] { set pyList = ##class(%SYS.Python).ToList($LB("Name","Phone","City")) do ..pyGetPropertiesAtRunTime(pyList) } ClassMethod pyGetPropertiesAtRunTime(properties) [ Language = python ] { import iris iris_obj = iris.cls(__name__)._OpenId(1) for prop in properties: print(getattr(iris_obj,prop)) } 1.3 Set properties at runtime. I utilize this python dictionary to designate my property as a key and, with the corresponding property values serving as the values within that dictionary. You may refer to the code provided below and the community post regarding this property set. ClassMethod SetProperties() { Set pyDict = ##class(%SYS.Python).Builtins().dict() do pyDict.setdefault("Name1", "Ashok kumar") do pyDict.setdefault("Phone", "9639639635") do pyDict.setdefault("City", "Zanesville") Set st = ..pySetPropertiesAtRunTime(pyDict) } ClassMethod pySetPropertiesAtRunTime(properties As %SYS.Python) [ Language = python ] { import iris iris_obj = iris.cls(__name__)._New() for prop in properties: setattr(iris_obj, prop,properties[prop]) status = iris_obj._Save() return status } 1.4 Object share context As previously stated, both Python and ObjectScript operate within the same memory context and share objects. This implies that you can create or open an object in the InCache class and subsequently set or retrieve it in the Python class. ClassMethod ClassObjectAccess() [Language = objectscript] { Set obj = ..%OpenId(1) Write obj.PropAccess(),! ; prints "Ashok kumar" Do obj.DefineProperty("test") Write obj.PropAccess() ; prints "test" } Method PropAccess() [ Language = python ] { return self.Name } Method DefineProperty(name) [ Language = python ] { self.Name = name } 2. Parameters Get the parameter arbitrary key value pair by using the _GetParameter. Refer the useful community post ClassMethod GetParam(parameter = "MYPARAM") [ Language = python ] { import iris value = iris.cls(__name__)._GetParameter(parameter) print(value) } 3. Class Method and Methods 3.1 Class Method The invocation of class methods and functions is highly beneficial for executing the object script code. Invoke the class method as a static call ex: Do ..Test() ClassMethod InvokeStaticClassMethods(clsName = "MyLearn.EmbeddedPython") [ Language = python ] { import iris print(iris.cls(clsName).Test()) # print(iris.cls(__name__).Test()) } Invoke the Class method at runtime Set method="Test" Do $ClassMethod(class, method, args...) ClassMethod InvokeClassMethodsRunTime(classMethod As %String = "Test") [ Language = python ] { import iris clsMethodRef = getattr(iris.cls(__name__), classMethod) # will return the reference of the method print(clsMethodRef()) } 3.2 Methods Invoke the instance methods are same as "object script" format. In the below code I've initiate the object first and call the instance method with parameters. ClassMethod InvokeInstanceMethodWithActualParameters() [ Language = python ] { import iris obj = iris.cls(__name__)._New() print(obj.TestMethod(1,2,4)) } 3.3 Pass arguments by value and reference b/w python and objectscript Basically passing the arguments are inevitable between the functions and the same will remain between ObjectScript and python 3.4 Pass by value - It's as usual pass by value ClassMethod passbyvalfromCOStoPY() { Set name = "test", dob= "12/2/2002", city="chennai" Do ..pypassbyvalfromCOStoPY(name, dob, city) } ClassMethod pypassbyvalfromCOStoPY(name As %String, dob As %String, city As %String) [ Language = python ] { print(name,' ',dob,' ',city) } /// pass by value from python to object script ClassMethod pypassbyvalfromPY2COS() [ Language = python ] { import iris name = 'test' dob='12/2/2002' city='chennai' iris.cls(__name__).passbyvalfromPY2COS(name, dob, city) } ClassMethod passbyvalfromPY2COS(name As %String, dob As %String, city As %String) { zwrite name,dob,city } 3.5 Pass by reference- Unlike the pass by value. Since Python does not support call by reference natively, so, you need to use the iris.ref() in python code to make it the variable as a reference. refer the reference. To the best of my knowledge, there are no effects on the object script side regarding pass-by-reference variables, even when these variables are modified in Python. Consequently, Python variables will be affected by this pass-by-reference mechanism when the methods of the object script are invoked ClassMethod pypassbyReffromPY2COS() [ Language = python ] { import iris name='python' dob=iris.ref('01/01/1991') city = iris.ref('chennai') print('before COS ',name,' ',dob.value,' ',city.value) #pass by reference of dob, city iris.cls('MyLearn.EmbeddedPythonUtils').passbyReffromPY2COS(name, dob, city) print('after COS ',name,' ',dob.value,' ',city.value) } ClassMethod passbyReffromPY2COS(name, ByRef dob, ByRef city) { Set name="object script", dob="12/12/2012", city="miami" } // output LEARNING>do ##class(MyLearn.EmbeddedPythonUtils).pypassbyReffromPY2COS() before COS python 01/01/1991 chennai after COS python 12/12/2012 miami 3.5 **kwargs- There is an additional support for passing the python keyword arguments (**kwargs) from object script. Since InterSystems IRIS does not have the concept of keyword arguments, you have to create a %DynamicObject to hold the keyword/value pairs and pass the values as syntax Args... I have created the dynamicObject { "name": "ashok", "city": "chennai"}and set the required key-value pairs in it and eventually pass to the python code. ClassMethod KWArgs() { set kwargs={ "name": "ashok", "city": "chennai"} do ..pyKWArgs(kwargs...) } ClassMethod pyKWArgs(name, city, dob = "") [ Language = python ] { print(name, city, dob) } // output LEARNING>do ##class(MyLearn.EmbeddedPythonUtils).KWArgs() ashok chennai I will cover the global, routines and SQL in next article Thanks! A great summary!

Click 'MANUALLY POST A DISTANCE' and enter all the information and a photo as proof (e.g., Treadmill distance). However, this will take some time to appear in the Leaderboard. Keep fit and good luck! Oh, sounds exciting! I'm so going to try to participate! See you in Travemünde!! :) I am so very excited! This should be a lot of fun, even if it's just to see how long it takes me to walk that distance. I see someone is on the 3rd place... Yes indeed! It was a great new challenge for me to reach new personal records on my walkstation :)
