In addition to what @Robert Cemper said InterSystems IRIS is much faster than Caché in SQL, it has officially released Docker images, it has IRIS Interoperability and IRIS BI is included and it has Community Edition which gives you the way to develop and evaluate your solution on IRIS  which is less than 10GB without ordering a license.

And IRIS has a Package Manager ZPM which gives you a universal and robust way to deploy your solutions.

Thanks, Herman! Technology is not ideal yet but already gives the feeling of next-level innovation)

To use SAM?

And they carry ZPM 0.2.8, see the release notes.

Yes, it removes not used/stopped containers, but usually, it's safe:  I hope you don't store anything important in a container.  

Just to clarify again - these types of issues are not related to ZPM anyhow.

But yes - this happens with docker sometimes, it's a "dark side" of docker-way of software development ;) If something doesn't work without a reason every time I do the following:

1) build without cache:

docker-compose build --no-cache

2) clean up docker:

docker system prune -f

In a lot of cases, this helps.

And maybe it's a trigger for us to make docker images smaller, @Steven LeBlanc , @Luca Ravazzolo ?

Another approach is not having docker locally at all - e.g. Github Codespaces very promising way forward, you code in a browser and use Github's docker infrastructure (which is endless?).

Another idea - your docker just doesn't have enough resources for this. I have 6GB memory and 200G space.

Just tested on 2020.4 zpm enabled:

It works.  I guess the issue is with your docker, it could run out of resources.

@Steve Pisani, if you perform docker cleanup (it's safe):

docker system prune -f

and test again?

Thanks, Steve! Just to clarify: this issue is related to ZPM-enabled IRIS for Health images, right? Filed the issue.

You also can check direct messages here on DC - if people click the I'm Interested button you'll get a direct message.

ZPM images are updated with a new IRIS 2020.4.0.524.0 build.

I think maven is great, looking forward to hearing the news from @Bob Kuszewski 

Double copy-n-paste. Fixed the link.

If we host it in the repository until it'd be published on maven, will it solve the issue temporarily? Like here.

Technology bonuses for the interoperability contest

We added an IRIS Interoperability Template with a very simple (the simplest probably) but working template of an IRIS Interop production

Also, check my session Creating InterSystems IRIS Analytics Solutions Using Docker & VSCode

The related code could be found here on Github.

Sure. PEX demo is included in examples list, thanks @Eduard Lebedyuk
