New post! I think we’re on the cusp of very portable VMs.

Looks like lots of people jumping ship to 🦋.. I’m https://bsky.app/profile/chris.blue on there .. been waiting for you to join.

If you have a 🦋 account, could you please reply with your username? Trying to port my follows over.

"...but in most cases, the correct set of service boundaries is an emergent property that results from continually building and deepening your knowledge over time."

Yes! Iterating on product market fit on top of microservices is a bad idea. https://x.com/the1024th/status/1848397412546580873

Just merged atomic batch writes for SlateDB! Next up? Transactions! First serializable isolation, then snapshot serializable isolation. 🚀

.. and a lot of testing 🤣

Woah, how did I miss this. @IBM is acquiring @HashiCorp?!

Got a demo this week. Pretty slick stuff. 😀 https://x.com/diptanu/status/1847493627926499555

TIL..

• Oracle and GCP do not charge for any network ingress between them.
• Seagate Lyve Cloud (S3 compatible object store) doesn’t charge egress fees or per-action and instead charges just for storage.

Anyone use Lyve? Never even heard of it. https://t.co/ooYoc1XyMC

When https://fizzbee.io/ finds a bug in https://t.co/kciprrCFnv%27s writer fencing protocol. 😵‍💫

/ht @vigneshc and @jayaprabhakark for this

Lots of interesting stuff happening in k8s/container world right now. @LoopholeLabs's https://architect.run/ unikernel integrations, gVisord/Firecracker advances, and some forthcoming service mesh stuff and multi-cloud k8s projects.

Pretty impressive how easy it is to get Flask running on @vercel. They’ve come a long way from 2-3 years ago.

.@felderainc looks really neat. Incremental compute like @MaterializeInc, but as a query engine rather than DB.

So much going on with https://slatedb.io/ Both exciting and humbling.

- Time-to-live (TTL) @almoggavra
- Snapshots/Transactions @flaneur2023
- Checkpoints @_RohanDesai
- Range queries (Jason @ Responsive)
- Atomic batch writes (Me)

slatedb-go is getting contributions, too!

Heck yea! lofi geek Halloween! 🎃

👀 SlateDB ‘bout to be in production! The @responsive_apps folks (@_RohanDesai @almoggavra) have contributed a ton to the project. 🔥 https://x.com/apurva1618/status/1846249034799006098

On-call AI is an obvious use case (https://x.com/criccomini/status/1631052369948733440 Tons of startups are working on this. But I kinda feel like @datadoghq is just gonna do it?

Anyone out there using unikernels or nanovms? Kinda curious about how they’re being used. They seem super interesting for infra companies…

Been hearing a lot of good things about @dltHub. Integrating ETL into ML/AI/analytics engineer tool chains is a neat idea.

Every time I have coffee with @apurva1618, I leave feeling so energized. Really excited about what @responsive_apps is doing. There's a silent majority of underserved Kafka Streams users out there that deserve a platform like Responsive's.

Daft is going to be running everywhere. 😀

New post! I think about ETL tools for AI/ML/analytics engineers.

Just accepted a timestamp and TTL design for SlateDB. Thanks to @almoggavra for writing it up! See the markdown doc for details. 👇

Open source WarpStream! https://x.com/OnlyXuanwo/status/1843582518081270018

This is a great post to share with that relative that keeps asking how LLMs work.

I can’t believe this doesn’t exist. Surely I am missing something. Anyone know a service that offers it? https://x.com/criccomini/status/1843007138005991650

If you’re curious about how SlateDB works, this is a great starting point.👇 x.com/thegeeknarrator/status/1...

How do open source projects track interesting links?

I want to keep a repository of links we come across while building SlateDB. Sometimes we include them in our RFCs, but not everything has an RFC. And some posts are just neat but not related to current work.

Empty GitHub repo with -rs extension and a .ai domain name. 60 mill series A in the bag. https://x.com/sarahcat21/status/1842022800640639078

This was a really great experience. When it is posted, I think the @thegeeknarrator interview will be the deepest source of info about https://slatedb.io/ so far. We covered the design and architecture in detail. 😀 x.com/thegeeknarrator/status/1...

Dang. Between this and @niledatabase, @Netlify is making some moves…. https://x.com/JamsocketHQ/status/1841911099228029065
