Recently the Prisma Postgres team were investigating rising I/O wait across our hosts. Prisma Postgres stores memory snapshots on disk for ultra-fast startup times. Databases idle for 1 minute had their snapshots compressed, which became I/O intensive at scale. We increased that threshold and saw I/O wait drop sharply. Simple change, real impact. @prisma

I have loved watching the team put this together and I'm excited for them to be sharing it to the community and working in the open!

@ChrisWillx @ChrisWillx please can you drop the full remix already!? 🙃

How To Overcome Fear

If your platform generates apps, you can now get them live in minutes without needing to manage infra! 🚀 We have partnered with @vercel to offer instant app deployments. Perfect for AI dev tools, or no-code and learning platforms. How will you use it? pris.ly/prisma-vercel-…

@rovapin @gniting @ErfanEbrahimnia @supabase Are you interested in status page for the service or to know where your database is capable of serving a request? I assume the latter because you’re interested in making sure your app is working for your users right?

@tylerhogarth @gniting @ErfanEbrahimnia @supabase This is for a status page. If neon every has an outage, could it trigger a web hook or something to integrate with the page?

Currently researching database providers and @supabase seems to offer the best deal (features + pricing). what's the catch??

@rovapin @gniting @ErfanEbrahimnia @supabase Majority of the developer market are creating applications that people actively use which means their queries scale with human usage. Prisma Postgres works incredibly well for them and is cost effective because it costs nothing until someone uses it their app.

@tylerhogarth @gniting @ErfanEbrahimnia @supabase Yeah, for example. If you have a simple uptime monitor that pings the db every 60 seconds and just does something like SELECT NOW() to see if it is running, that would be 43,200 operations just for the uptime monitor while bandwidth would be extremely low.

@rovapin @gniting @ErfanEbrahimnia @supabase I'd also be curious if you find it easier to reason with bandwidth + compute instead of QPS. I assume most applications scale with usage which correlates more closely to queries.

@gniting @ErfanEbrahimnia @supabase Looks cool but the pricing of supabase is quite superior from what I can see. Being charged by number of operations instead of bandwidth is not great

@kristiavh I thought the plan was to spend the last penny before you die. 😉

Estate duty in the UK is 40%. Chew on that for a minute.

@SimonPB I shared your wisdom with my friend and he's chuffed to say the least. Thanks again.

@tylerhogarth 2 tricks. Contact them and ask for a review of the penalty, that seems to get it reduced every time. If you’re still not liking walk away and try again in three months. I got a different penalty every time tried and final time was lowest and we still asked for lower which err got

@SimonPB I remember hearing in a Fat Wallet show that you were helped by a someone with switching your old gen RA into a new gen Allan Gray fund. Do you recall who helped you with this? A friend of mine is in a tough spot. Thank you!

@SimonPB You're an actual life saver. Thanks Simon!

@SimonPB They can assist but there's a pretty big penalty fee that they were hoping to get around. Anyway, thanks for the help!

@tylerhogarth he's no longer in the business .. but usually the provider you moving to will assist ?

@paulrabenowitz @dewet_villiers @kristiavh This was the exact document I was trying to avoid reading. 😅

@dewet_villiers @kristiavh @tylerhogarth Nice basic info here I tell my students to read sars.gov.za/AllDocs/OpsDoc…

@kristiavh I'm wondering about CGT and Sect. 9C. Buying an ETF and selling within 3 years means gains are taxed as income. Makes sense but I contribute to my ETFs monthly. Do you know if the purchase date is taken from the first purchase or each new purchase (first in first out)?

@dewet_villiers @kristiavh This is brilliant, thank you. Considering I plan on drawing down on these ETFs as opposed to withdrawing in one go, I would think FIFO would make sense?

@SimonPB I had a good chunk of capital I was looking to invest into the Ashburton GL. 1200. Without intending it, I have hit a point where I can time the market, which I wouldn't normally do but when life hands you lemons. Any advice on when to buy to take advantage of the price?

@c4talyst @EskomSePush @hermaritz @TwitterSupport Rookie programming mistake, never mess with the config when it's working. 😆

Whoops! Twitter wanted @EskomSePush's birthday (Dec 2014), so I set it, and the account got promptly locked for being too young 🤭🤣 @hermaritz & @TwitterSupport to save the day 🎉 Paperwork submitted, it's a business account 🤗
