SlateDB An embedded database built on object storage

.@calavera.dev migrated slatedb.io to Astro Starlight. It's now living in our main repo so we can keep it in sync with the code. 🔥

Two of my favorite companies

I think this applies to all of WASM 😆

"...the idea of no longer having to deal with colored functions really appeals to me and I hope we can explore it a bit."

Agreed. I feel the async/await API is a regression.

TLDR: Kiro does all of the standard vibe coding all the coding assistants do + it has unique features like “spec driven development” out of the box. Check out the announcement blog on Kiro.dev

How would you compare/contrast it with windsurf or cursor?

This idea for a new concurrency primitive is pretty interesting. This + lifetimes seems compelling (they mention crossbeam::scope in the footnotes).

ZeroFS has a website now :)

We're exploring this approach for SlateDB as well!

Kiro The AI IDE for prototype to production

Anyone out there tried kiro.dev?

(I also think Flight being a wire format is a feature not a bug)

The huge benefit if Flight is you can use it outside of the JVM.

Same! I suspect it’ll be OK… just more corporate.

Trailblazing SF coffee chain about to be sold to private equity firm for $145M Employees who bought stock in the company will reportedly get nothing in the deal.

Dang! 😭

Yea, I suspect it's essentially DBZ in Rust. Need (distributed and single node) server and a lib (former built on latter).

💯 it’s phenomenal.

It's hard to overstate what Prefect 3 did for adoption. Usage has now increased nearly 10x since GA less than a year ago... and the rate is accelerating.

I'm sure the uni folks would be. Amazing research going on in Madison.

The first and main web service at LinkedIn was name "leo" for decades... Cuz the engineer named it after himself. Serious flex if you ask me.

StarTree Adds Native Iceberg Support: Serve High-Concurrency Queries Directly from Your Lakehouse | StarTree StarTree Cloud can directly query Iceberg tables without ingesting them. Get powerful secondary indexes on top of your lakehouse data—no duplication, no data movement.

Ooh.. @startreedata.bsky.social added Iceberg support.

New storage format RFC in the works 👀 Early preview:

This is awesome. Running FizzBee was prohibitively painful. The sandbox was only good for small stuff, too.

made a Homebrew formula for FizzBee 😁, now we can install fizzbee with:

brew tap fizzbee-io/fizzbee
brew install fizzbee

Debezium as Rust library would be really great. Anyone working on this?

I feel like gossip protocols are about to make a comeback.
