@kneath @samlambert We had better in-house UIs for monitoring in 2013 than what you can get today paying DataDog 7 million buckerinos per month. 😭😭😭

Story time! The very first version of Bugbot we launched was stateless. We kept track of runs in our analytics database and we only used that data offline for metrics. Whenever we needed to analyze run metadata, we had to do online lookups from the database. Relying on our analytics database during online operations was definitely tech debt. We were using a large RDS cluster that was already running hot from offline usage. We started noticing that some Bugbot runs were failing because of external analytics load; by that time, we had added a few Bugbot-specific tables to it, so we had to come up with a migration plan quickly before this became a widespread availability issue. We chose PlanetScale Postgres for our new Bugbot cluster. We already had many terabytes of data in PlanetScale MySQL/Vitess which was working incredibly well, so we felt comfortable with this choice. The migration went very smoothly, and now all of Bugbot's queries are instant and we stopped worrying about downtime!

Y'all database nerds really love fighting in twitter huh. FWIW I don't have a particular horse in this race. I used to work at PlanetScale but I've escaped the permanent database engineer underclass now (hashtag blessed). I also don't know anybody at SpacetimeDB, but I've played a couple dozen hours of their MMORPG and I actually like it lol. The technical descriptions in the blog are, I think, accurate to the extent of my ability and the 15 minutes I spent reading the code. If you think I got details wrong, you may be right! The non-technical descriptions in the blog are, I think, accurate to the extent I have good taste. If you think I got anything wrong, you're wrong (and have bad taste). Now if you'll excuse me, my toddler is asleep and I got a hot date with my wife and the Dominos delivery guy. Please enjoy database twitter drama responsibly.

Earlier this week, SpacetimeDB launched v2 of their product with a weird marketing video. It was full of memes, and mocking other databases; their CEO showed up drinking "competitor's tears". I found it off-putting, but it did pique my interest enough to do a technical review of their product. In summary: it's not a very good database, and it is a big marketing miss. Database marketing is hard! They had a good chance to launch this and make people go "Wow! It's like Redis on steroids! You can build a whole MMORPG on top of this!". But instead they invited some very awkward comparisons with their benchmarks. Any technical person who looked at their offering probably thought: "Wow, 190k QPS in a relational database? I wonder what's the catch". The catch is that it's pretty much just an in-memory hash table with a single lock in front of it. Some interesting ideas, some big footguns. But that's pretty much it. Here's my full technical review, including some thoughts on database marketing, if you're interested 👇

@_pp51 Hey Praveen, I wrote it from scratch using a SVG JavaScript library. Sorry, there’s nothing in GitHub that can be used “off-the-shelf” to build something like that :(

Feel free to ping me VMG, dm me with your ideas, or if you have any thoughts happy to give a few opinions :) For the standing desk. It was a laminated desk from a local company, but the legs were from Linak, a Danish company specialized in these: linak.com/products/desk-…. Lots of furniture companies, would buy the legs from then and then sell it with a markup and a brandh. However in the past 4/5 years I believe the Chinese also caught up. For standing desk, I think it's important how big your desk is (Weight), but also how short (not tall) you want it. If the legs are 2 pieces, you can't go tall, but 3 piece legs can go bot short and also tall, which is really good. Also Herman Miller (very pricey) has some option nowadays where the desk looks like an ordinary desk (not techy), but is still a standing desk. Example: store.hermanmiller.com/standing-desks…

I see. Your old standing desk was a Flexispot, right? How was that overall? I'm thinking of getting some good Flexispot legs + a custom board by a local woodsmith. I'm building a new house with my wife and one of our goals is a fatih-level amount of interior design. We keep checking your pictures for inspiration!

Thank you VMG. That was honestly the one reason I wasn’t sure moving to this setup. Yes I miss the standing desk, but I also exercise a lot, stand during the meetings (tilt the monitor towards myself), so it was never an issue. For example lately I use my Analog part to work on my keyboard design, so having a space empty pays off.

Es un gráfico de cascada que empieza por los flujos negativos rotado 90º a la derecha para facilitar su lectura. Parte del 100% de gasto y termina en el 100% de gasto, por eso no veo necesarias las columnas de stock inicial y final. Es para ver cómo se han reconfigurado los pesos de cada función de gasto en el gasto público en los últimos 20 años.

I spent the day today at the @cursor_ai Cafe in Madrid. I really liked the format. They simply rent a spacious coffee shop where you can bring your laptop and meet lots of other people who use Cursor to program with AI (they give you $50 in AI credits) I ran into many friends ( @vmg , @DavidGomes , @iamzenitram , @MarkVillacampa ) and finally met in person several people I knew from Twitter like ( @manu__martinm , @fildotai @pedropaparicio ) And lots of other incredibly smart people in their early twenties. I do not even know if you are here on Twitter, say hi!
