Real-time contextual data is no longer optional — it’s foundational.
LLMs demand live, relevant signals.

We’re not building for dashboards anymore. We’re building for agents.

From batch to streaming.
From static to dynamic.
From reports to APIs.

The upstream pipeline design and data modeling techniques, leveraging a vector store like S3 Vectors, and the Lakehouse architecture will drive the next-gen evolution of data engineering.

I truly wish to switch to Claude Code, but the reliability sucks. In a second attempt, I got the error. Dropping it for now.

I keep meaning to read all the Atlassian Work Life blog posts, but ironically, they’re stuck in my backlog—and every time I open Jira, my work-life balance dies a little more. 🤷‍♂️

🚨 Beware of quick fixes!

“Applying a half-baked theory is like using duct tape on a parachute—technically a fix, until gravity files a formal complaint.”

Scaling flawed ideas often scales their consequences too. Always write down your assumptions before shipping.

DuckLake: SQL as a Lakehouse Format DuckLake simplifies lakehouses by using a standard SQL database for all metadata, instead of complex file-based systems, while still storing data in open formats like Parquet. This makes it more reliable, faster, and easier to manage.

The DuckLake theme seems to speed up the metadata lookup. A couple of things I'm not sure
1. Does this still work with the Iceberg format? Do people need a migration from Iceberg?
2. How long will this design hold with AWS Express One slashing costs?

Systems like Gluten/ Comet replaces executors with the native implementation, but keep the planner, cluster manager and task scheduler as it is of Spark.

“KIP-1150 introduces Diskless Kafka topics that write directly to S3 instead of replicating between brokers.”

“Even using the expensive S3 Express (which a week ago lowered its prices by more than 50%) still saves 73% compared to traditional Apache Kafka.”

I don’t know about others, but manufacturing and operating code are two parts of the software supply chain. We accelerated the manufacturing process, yielding mixed-quality code impacting operational efficiency.

From WSDL to Claude MCP, creating structured, documented interfaces for remote services has been a decades-long problem. Both try to answer the question: "What can this service do?" "How do I talk to it?" and "What should I expect in return?"

I tried to build a mobile app in react native using repl.it and bold.new; Both failed to build the project with react native dependency. It seems no level of intelligence can solve the dependency hell.
