Back to textbooks: Denmark rolls back digital learning.

Denmark was quick to adopt digital technologies in the classroom, but wise enough to examine the impact on students, which led to a roll back in specific areas. www.youtube.com/watch?v=aKoC...

oh no, not like that

Taking database snapshots and moving large volumes of data over the network is something our customers do regularly. While batching is the de facto way to make this efficient choosing the right batch size is non-trivial considering network variability, latency & system load.

Read how we solved it👇🏽

New in xata clone: AI-assisted PII removal config (schema → strict config → validated).

@divyendusingh.com is doing a great job making agents do all sorts of stuff using databases. In our case with a few simple instructions, they are able to do branching operations, run queries, validate bug fixes and more.

The blog posts are paired with demo videos, have a look 👀 👇🏽

Optimizing data throughput for Postgres snapshots with batch size auto-tuning by Esther Minano Sanz Why static batch size configuration breaks down in real world networks and how automatic batch size tuning improves snapshot throughput.

Batching is often used to process large volumes of data but a batch size that works in one network setup can perform poorly in another.

We applied automatic batch size tuning to Postgres snapshots in pgstream to adapt across different network environments.

Can an AI Agent follow the same workflow that human developers can?

We explored giving AI agent access to the database branch, a compute sandbox to execute code and instructions to follow a developer workflow (in plain English) and the experiment was a success.

We explored giving AI agents access to compute (via Sandbox) and database via Xata branches and some “commandments” to follow a developer-like workflow.

So excited for this one, looking forward to sharing our experience of building a LLM powered on-call database agent.

As someone who is writing 90+% of code with agents in the last 2 months, looking forward to share the parallels and experience between coding and monitoring agents.

All the best. You will be amazing.

happy for you, what changed?

Zero Downtime Schema Changes with Vercel and Xata by Divyendu Singh Discover how Xata’s pgroll‑powered platform plus Vercel preview deployments enable zero‑downtime Postgres schema changes with instant branches.

Just published a deep dive on how every Vercel preview gets a full production database copy.

But that's not even the best bit.

Want to know how to safely update your database schema add a column, rename a field, even do complex behind‑the‑scenes transformations while production keeps humming?

This matches my experience

Using GitHub Spark to reverse engineer GitHub Spark GitHub Spark was released in public preview yesterday. It’s GitHub’s implementation of the prompt-to-app pattern also seen in products like Claude Artifacts, Lovable, Vercel v0, Val Town Townie and Fl...

GitHub released Spark yesterday, their extremely well crafted prompt-to-app platform for creating and iterating on React apps with user auth and persistent storage

I like it a lot! I reverse engineered it with Spark itself, the details are fascinating simonwillison.net/2025/Jul/24/...

Stuckness and the Path of Action “Stuckness” is where the potential of maximum growth exists.

May was wild. One moment I’m design and coding, the next I’m on stage performing for millions. Still can’t believe it. Grateful for everything. 💙

📣 We have a brand new Postgres platform with:

Instant Copy-on-Write branching
Built-in data anonymization
Separation of storage and compute
100% vanilla Postgres

It’s for staging/dev environments as well as for production workloads.

And more details in 🧵

Xata is one of the few female-founded companies in the Postgres world, and 40% of our team are women. Because inclusion is built, not wished for.

Proud to host another "Women In Postgres" breakfast at #PGConfDE in Berlin. Great breakfast, even greater conversations! 💜

What time is it? It is PGConf time 🐘

oh I need something similar, my use case is to run remote ffmpeg

something that can copy the current directory (like docker context), execute the command I provided, sync the target directory back to my machine, something like

remoteexec -c config.yml 'ffmpeg -i input.avi -o output.mp4'

this should be illegal, if it is not already

Rest of World is one of my favorite outlets so imagine my surprise & delight opening it today and spotting my friend and former coworker Gulcin talking about the sexism women coders face in Turkey.

Her efforts to organize & encourage this group is really admirable.
