Continuous Integration of MonetDB and SKA using Jenkins
MonetDB is used for doing database research, but is also widely used in production for a large set of different applications. One of them is astronomy. The fact that MonetDB is a column store makes it very well suited for the large analytical workloads of modern astronomy. So it is not surprising that MonetDB was chosen to be part of the software pipeline of the LOFAR radio telescope. In the previous blogpost "Time-domain radio astronomy with MonetDB" by Bart Scheers, a more detailed explanation can be found.
