so uh @Twitter banned CockroachDB on its 7th birthday for being under 13 years old 😢 it's nice to know that they're protecting kids from the horrors of the internet. but even 7 year old businesses are actually made up of real adults it turns out! I mean, most of them anyway.

I'm very excited to share what I've been working on at Datadog, Inc. recently. ✨ Connecting Go Profiling With Tracing felixge.de/2022/02/11/con… Check out the blog post to learn how profiling can fill in the gaps for distributed tracing, and how it works under the hood!

I couldn't be more proud of the many teams that contributed to making possible this incredible testament of DoorDash's success migrating from Postgres to CockroachDB. Incredible read that highlights so much database goodness and learnings! doordash.engineering/2023/02/07/how…

Ever wanna just know if a line of code is being hit? Or how often? Or from where? In prod!? We've been hard at work making that just a click away with side-eye.io!

Week one hacking on search turbopuffer and I’m shocked: the write:read ratio is way higher than OLTP. Ingesting and indexing a constant stream of massive batches is heavy on writes. Reads are less frequent—they just need to be fast.

modern NVMe drives are blazing fast, but software needs to be architected from the ground up to take full advantage of them we recently rolled out a new I/O scheduler that uses Direct I/O to maximize performance of our SSD caches, avoiding page cache cpu and locking overhead

Compare-and-swap has an infinite consensus number. It’s universal – powerful enough to solve any consensus problem. That’s why I’m excited about what we built here. It’s compare-and-swap all the way down.
