One under appreciated benefit of
@ycombinator
office hours is that we often get the best ideas either on the call while explaining something, or in the ~15 minutes right after
The partners are amazing sounding boards
Use them
hey
@blerp
can you not solicit users from our discord?
That's such a scumbag move, maybe thats on-brand now
if anyone else got a DM like this plz let me know,
my DMs are open
Following up on this,
@cramforce
and his team
@vercel
literally spent the last 24 hours in our codebase and deployments debugging the issue.
Turned out to be really heavy imports due to serverless builds not tree shaking.
Now that's customer service.
NextJS 13 getServerSideProps grinds to a halt even with a 32KB payload.
When fetching the content, it takes well under 1s from our API. However just getting this data, not even using it, resulted in Next.js before-hydrate taking well over 4-6s on first load.
See 🧵:
Cloudflare Durable Objects are amazing, but we were just charged $300 this month for 99.99999% idle websocket connections to be coordinated because it caused 23M GB-s of memory that we never used just to keep the DO online.
Definitely need to build something custom.
S3-backed tables in
@ClickHouseDB
are awesome, and with some clever filesystem work you can back them up without duplicating the data in S3, and restore without rewriting the data!
@muratdemirbas
What’s funny is it’s “HTAP” because they literally just glued clickhouse to the side of it
Like they literally are running clickhouse and keep it in sync with the oltp
Shoutout to
@tinybirdco
for realizing we were consuming data like a black hole and getting their team onboard fast to help us optimize
I know it's a churn-prevention response but still it's really great for customers XD
There is a prison in a more ancient part of the world, a pit where men are thrown to suffer and die. But sometimes a man rises from the darkness. Sometimes the pit sends something back.
So for the past 3 days my mission has been to destroy the Ender Dragon on Minecraft while chat used
@TangiaCo
to both help and hinder.
Today I got close. So very close.
But it ended where it began: a giant pit dug by chat filled with lava and bombs dropping on my head.
Just wrote a service using pure S3 as the entire database
When list/read calls are $0.36/million and only need point lookups or full scans (rarely), then why add the complexity of another datastore?
@eatonphil
people that are this dismissive of what a single person can achieve are just incapable of doing it themselves and project that on everyone else
I don't usually watch webinars, but after watching the
@ClickHouseDB
@klaviyo
webinar I'm more bullish than ever that CH has the best query language.
What Klaviyo did in straight SQL is impressive, they didn't even need to dive into executable UDFs!

@Cloudflare
Cloudflare's free tiers have always been curious to me, I'm unsure if they're considered a marketing expense and backed by massive margins on enterprise, or actually have a solid conversion rate (or maybe both)
I really love
@ScyllaDB
and want to run lots of nodes in many regions, but Scylla Manager is restricted to 5 nodes for automated repairs
Since that was the only feature I wanted from it, made a simple project that does that automatically:
@yanatweets
I love to guide people through trying it out themselves, we're able to do that within a few minutes so they get that lightbulb moment pretty quickly
@richardartoul
Have you seen how RedPanda does it? works excellent with tiered storage, I think that's a new use case enabled by tiered storage in addition to whole-cluster restore and lightning fast decommission/commission
@vanlightly
A startup's advantage is simplification and leverage of billing.
For example, many startups get LOTS of AWS credit.
Why should I pay someone 3x the EC2 cost out of my bank, when I can pay 0.1x for the BYOC and nothing with my credits that will last for 2 years?
I've learned 2 VERY important things about
@TimescaleDB
lately
1. It's NOT just a postgres extension.
2. As easy as it is to use, understanding how features like realtime aggregates work is crucial to squeezing maxium performance and value out of it.
