Super bullish about ParadeDB after chatting with @philippemnoel . Basically a search-focused version of Postgres.
Sparked by a conversation started by @arvidkahl about having a full-text index on ~500GB of data in MySQL and the difficulties there.
ParadeDB has an extension that brings (1) more features and (2) a faster engine to search in Postgres.
One of my favorite things from Philippe -- they often recommend setting up a different Postgres instance running ParadeDB that's replicating from your primary OLTP instance. Super easy pipeline story without bogging down your primary instance with search queries.

Postgres for Search + Analytics with Philippe Noël 🚀
As Postgres continues to rise in popularity, the "Just Use Postgres'' movement is getting stronger and stronger.

@paradedb is Postgres for search and analytics. And this is a conversation with Philippe Noël who is one of the founders of ParadeDB.

I recently watched a talk on @SoftwareHuddle's YouTube channel, where @samlambert explains Vitess architecture overview and how it is used at PlanetScale. Highly recommended for an overview of Vitess and the pricing models used in DBaaS.

My favorite C++ books are "Modern C++ Design" and "Effective C++" series.
Are there Rust equivalents?

From Code Red to Green: Incident Management with Nora Jones of Jeli and Dan McCall from PagerDuty 🎉
Today's episode is all about Incident Management. We have two amazing guests, Nora Jones, Founder and CEO of @jeli_io, and Dan McCall, the VP and GM of Incident Management at @pagerduty.
There's of course a technical aspect to managing incidents that PagerDuty excels at, very well known for, and there's also a human side, like how do you learn from an incident so it doesn't happen again in the future, and this is where Jeli steps in.
In the episode, Nora and Dan talk through the evolution of Incident Management, the hard problems in the space, and a future that leverages AI with a human in the loop component to scalably and proactively manage incidents and reduce outages. We also touch on the recent announcement that Jeli was acquired by PagerDuty.
