[Cuis-dev] UKSTUG Meeting: Norbert Hartl - Soil: a database for fun and profit - 26 November 2025

[UK Smalltalk]

Soil ( https://github.com/ApptiveGrid/Soil ) is an object oriented database
implemented completely in smalltalk/pharo. It makes it easy to build a
persistent solution without the burden of mapping everything to some
external DSL/database. It supports storing arbitrary graphs and enables
transparent access to them. It has binary search indexes to make lookups of
huge collections quite efficient. It is the main database behind
ApptiveGrid - low code tool to build business processes. (

Norbert Hartl ( https://github.com/noha ) is an experienced software
engineer and entrepreneur with a strong track record of delivering business
projects and developing key libraries and frameworks. As the co-founder of
ApptiveGrid and PharoPro, he focuses on creating efficient, zero-dependency
software solutions that drive business innovation and streamline operations.

This will be an online meeting.

If you'd like to join us, please sign up in advance on the meeting's Meetup
