Understandable billing is a core part of how we're building Molnett. The industry standard is to hide consumption behind abstractions like credits, at the customers expense.

This is our first step to remove the abstractions and let users know the truth before the invoice is sent!

Starting to figure out the billing as well. We have all the data, just need to find a good way to visualze it

She was truly one of a kind, a really charming and crazy dog who couldn’t stop talking whenever she smelled cheese or had a chance to break the silence. I see myself in her, and she will not truly leave us for as long as we are reminded by our memories of her.

Sometimes life doesn’t go as planned. My dog Alice moved on today after a long fight with intestinal problems, and leaves behind an endless amount of good memories and laughs. Even though it was a short visit in our home, she made a huge impact on our family.

ClickHouse has their multi-tenant support behind SharedMergeTree, which is only part of their Cloud product and not Open-Source.

What Object Storage based databases are there out there that has built-in support for multi tenancy? The absolute majority of Open Source projects have removed their multi-tenancy support as it's their moat for the Cloud product. Only one I know of is Neon, which don't publish their control plane.

Ended up at the emergency with my daschshund Alice :(

Alice keeps eating random foods off the ground outside, often eating grass which makes her throw up.
Now she ate something bigger (AGAIN!!) and I’m here waiting for the IV to take effect…

I think she’ll be ok πŸ™

Once again reminded over how absolutely GARBAGE Azure is compared to any other alternative. The non-existent feedback from Function App when deploying code is mind blowing. How could they make a product that cannot produce any feedback on when things go wrong? If things are even wrong at all.
WTF

Very happy how the new deployment flow working out at Molnett. This is made mostly with @temporal.io and our own operators on top of Kubernetes!

The UI is exclusively made with vibe coding in Cursor. My co-founder Sascha believes I'm the god of 80/20 at this point πŸ˜… But it feels good and looks OK!

I’m finally at Cloudfest, a massive conference for traditional web hosting, and it seems I’m in for a ride. People are very eager to party here at Europa Park, so I’ll have to pace myself πŸ˜†

Airbus and others call for sovereign infrastructure fund, buy European Airbus , Dassault Systemes and more than 90 smaller European technology companies and lobby groups have urged European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen to create a sovereign infrastructure fund to ramp up public investments in cutting-edge technologies.

There's been a large movement recently in pointing out that European countries have to establish their own sovereign digital infrastructure. Today molnett, together with many other companies like Airbus and Clever Cloud, sent a letter to European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen.

If you’re doing just that, probably a bit overkill. We’re very happy with rules_oci and rules_rust though.

We build 100+ targets of multiple different languages, so Bazel definitely reasonable for us!

Sad, but happy we went with Bazel instead. Would've been a lot of work migrating away and we'd likely not be a commercial customer for a while.

Europe, the Digital Colony Digital colonisation is happening before our eyes. We're sleepwalking into a digital dependency that puts our hospitals, schools, and government services at risk.

What has happened after over a decade of transitioning digital services from traditionally EU-owned infrastructure to American-owned hyperscalers?

We call it Digital Colonization!

Contributors to jackc/pgx PostgreSQL driver and toolkit for Go. Contribute to jackc/pgx development by creating an account on GitHub.

Some day we'll hopefully all be running in CGO so we can use the libraries that have existed for decades, instead of libraries like lib/pg or github.com/jackc/pgx. These issues have been fixed in other C-compatible languages since forever ago and now I have to deal with them AGAIN

Stumbled upon this strange problem when self-hosting the Ory products Keto and Hydra. When connecting to Neon's cloud-hosted Postgres servers, the client doesn't deal with TLS correctly and closes connections before sending "close_notify", causing a bunch of issues with connection resets.

I imagine the best way forward is the just only use containers even with FaaS. It’s what I’ve used on AWS and it was much more reliable!

The fact is that the recommended flow on Azure is to install your pip requirements to a local folder, zip it with your code and upload the file as is, and hope for the best, which is crazy. There’s no validation that the decorators are findable by the v2 runtime either.

01.03.2025 06:51 β€” πŸ‘ 0    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 2    πŸ“Œ 0

We were deploying Python v2 functions from Azure pipelines on a monorepo. The code itself is deployable using the VSCode plugin, but we could not get the deployment to work.
The frustration comes from the symptom being that it just doesn’t show up in the UI, even though the deploy is succeeded!

I used Azure's Functions as a Service (Function App) today and it's THE worst experience I've ever had for any workload ever. I don't see how a non-senior engineer could setup a decent pipeline within less than a few DAYS of work.

Totally flabbergasted.

ok, the new model is .... not great. It got super confused and started writing in files that doesn't exist, writing "github.com/your-project" instead of molnett πŸ˜„

I tried running any bash command with it and it just doesn't work. No idea why it just sits there? There's no logs or anything indicating it's stuck.
```

Bash(echo "Hello, world!")…
