In-person workshops with me are a real treat (for me... attendees tell me they really like it too). Join me in person in Utah at one of the best conferences in the world.

Saying that companies are happy w/ single-region in existing clouds is backwards: many companies are single-region b/c it's complex + expensive (inter-region egress, anyone?) to architect any other way.

They would LOVE to be distributed, but today's clouds don't make that easy.

Cloudflare is crushing it. Huge differentiator for us in velocity, reliability, and performance. The Workers platform, and specifically Durable Objects, simplify otherwise complex systems. Prisma Pulse would traditionally be a complex k8s setup yet it is 100% built on Cloudflare.

🤔If we were to release a type-safe query builder like feature, what should we call it?

Get creative!😉

❎ Polling is the wrong way to capture database events.

🪫 Because querying your database in frequent polling intervals will increase network traffic and add more stress to your database.

As a former business intelligence engineer who would sling around SQL every day at work, I love my ORM and don't feel tied down by it at all.

An ORM can keep you out of the database or help you understand it better. It's all in how you use it.

Look at the SQL it generates, read the schema changes, and use it as a tool to level yourself up. I know a thing or two about databases and I still prefer an ORM.
