TimescaleDB 2.0: A Petabyte-Scale Relational Database for Time-Series Datasets — A time series database built on top of PostgreSQL which now brings multi-node support, improved licensing (everything’s free), and more (as explained in these tweets).

Timescale on Building a Self-Sustaining Open-Source Business in the Cloud Era — The TLDR is that the creators of TimescaleDB (a time-series database built on top of Postgres) are redefining their open source license, offering their enterprise features to everyone for free, and loosening restrictions and providing expanded rights to users.

Make Your Kubernetes Services Faster by Removing CPU Limits — An engineer at Buffer talks about a CPU throttling issue they ran into which was causing unnecessary slowness on Linux kernels below 4.19.

Migrating a 40TB SQL Server Database — A database administrator at Stack Overflow tells the tale of migrating over four years of traffic data (totalling almost 40TB) from one schema to another. This raises more questions than it answers (one being, why are they storing several years of traffic data in a live, relational database?) but it’s a neat writeup nonetheless.

Hypermodern Python: A Modern Introduction to Python — I’ve wanted to bring my Python skills up to date for years and this is finally helping me out. How to set up a Python environment in a modern way.

BPF: A New Type of Software? — BPF (and eBPF) was originally designed to capture and filter network packets using various rules, but you can use the interface they provide with the kernel to do other things too (under what Brendan calls a ‘new model of programming’) such as intelligent load balancing, DDoS mitigation, observability, and more. You’ll learn a lot here.

Do You Need Golang or Kubernetes Training? — On-site corporate training. Having trained over 4,000 engineers since 2013, we've crafted classes for students to get as much as possible.

Predictive CPU Isolation of Containers at Netflix — When your containers are sharing CPU time with others, ‘noisy neighbors’ can become a problem.. something Netflix was encountering a lot. So they’ve built a curious data-driven solution for improving CPU isolation.

graphql-codegen: A GraphQL Code Generator — A tool that generates code out of your GraphQL schema for various stacks and tools from TypeScript and React to MongoDB and Reason.

A Vector for Stealing Downloads from Slack Users — The odds of this being a useful attack are pretty low, but it’s an interesting one technically.
