How much faster can a database get in a single year? We ran ClickBench on QuestDB 7.3.3 (Dec '23) vs QuestDB 8.2.1 (Dec '24). The results speak for themselves

Design by Decision Fatigue. An essay on how the decisions we make writing software shape our enjoyment of the craft. sklar.rocks/decision-fatig…

Did you know you can add a label to your QuestDB Web Console, so it is easier to identify instances and environments? export QDB_INSTANCE_NAME="🐧 Dev 🐧 Market Data" export QDB_INSTANCE_RGB=g

Software is shaped by decisions—big and small. Managing decision fatigue leads to better software and a better dev experience. How do you handle decision fatigue? Read the full blog post by one of our engineer : questdb.com/blog/design-by… #opensource #engineering #questdb

QuestDB 9.0.1 is here. While 9.0 marked our biggest release this year, we saw immediate opportunities to enhance SYMBOL index performance. The improvements target workloads with high concurrency on symbol-heavy datasets. Full release notes: questdb.com/docs/releases #questdb

I'm a bit late to the game, but I've been playing around with Pulumi's hooks and I'm having a great time so far! I'm able to implement functionality that I've been wanting since I started my BYOC project QuestDB over a year ago

Docker Run vs. Attach vs. Exec 🔽 Explore how these key Docker commands work under the hood in my most recent write-up labs.iximiuz.com/tutorials/dock… Why bother: A fundamental understanding of how tech works enables you to apply the knowledge to new domains and synthesize hard skills.

I used AI to write a new feature. After it was finished and merged, I found a critical problem with the solution. It was easier to just throw the whole thing out and rewrite the feature from scratch, my way. AI can't pivot away from a bad design, it just brute forces a solution

kubectl get pods --all-namespaces | grep bitnami 😭😭😭

Just noticed that Ivan Velichko's labs include Incus VMs! ❤️❤️❤️ Now I can test my wireguard reverse tunnel ideas from my M1 Macbook...

Ah, this is the classic ____ issue.
