Redpanda is a Kafka -compatible distributed streaming system based around append-only logs. Compared to Kafka, Redpanda aims to offer users lower latencies and reduced operational complexity. It uses the Raft consensus algorithm internally, rather than depending on a separate installation of Zookeeper . Redpanda…
Go generics are a new way to improve performance in golang. Let’s see what effect generics had on Google’s B-tree implementation.
Take an in-depth look at the different computational models of zq and jq.
Let's build a query engine from scratch. In about 100 lines of Javascript, we'll support joins, indexes, and find our answer for Arnold!
How the Postgres planner breaks down a query into scans and how this impacts indexing choices
MASSIVE dataset and Massively Multilingual NLU (MMNLU-22) competition and workshop will help researchers scale natural-language-understanding technology to every language on Earth.
Last fall, we migrated our 4TB Postgres database from version 9.6 to version 13 with minimal downtime. Here is how we did it (gotchas included).
Product updates, comparisons, and deep dives on database change management, access control, and compliance from the Bytebase engineering team.
One Machine Learning algorithm that relies on the concepts of proximity and similarity is K-Nearest Neighbor (KNN). KNN is a supervised learning algorithm capable of performing both classification and regression tasks.
Silent data corruptions (SDCs), data errors that go undetected by the larger system, are a widespread problem for large-scale infrastructure systems. Left undetected, these types of corruptions can…
we moved from etcd to SQLite for a simpler, more scalable database solution. Learn about Litestream, live replication, and lessons learned.
GraphQL support is now in general availability on the Supabase platform via our open source PostgreSQL extension, pg_graphql.
Learn how PlanetScale lets you revert changes to your database after a migration with no downtime and zero data loss.

By aggregating our data in an effort to simplify it, we lose the signal and the context we need to make sense of what we’re seeing.
Universal Analytics is sunsetting next year. Prepare now by moving over to the next generation Analytics solution, Google Analytics 4.
Under unsupervised learning, all the objects in the same group (cluster) should be more similar to each other than to those in other clusters; data points from different clusters should be as different as possible. Clustering allows you to find and organize data into groups that have been formed organically, rather…
Shopify’s Data team uses these foundational approaches to data warehousing and analysis empowering us to deliver the best results for our ecosystem.
PostgreSQL has a robust set of features which we can leverage to create a generic auditing solution in 150 lines of SQL.
Filebase now supports IPFS! Learn more about our latest network integration and how you can pin data onto IPFS in seconds, at a fraction of the cost of existing services.
PlanetScale offers the world’s fastest and most scalable cloud hosting for Vitess, Neki, and Postgres.
Timescale just raised $110 million in our Series C, led by Tiger Global alongside all existing investors: Benchmark, New Enterprise Associates.
Machine learning is a subfield of artificial intelligence (AI) and computer science that focuses on using data and algorithms to mimic the way people learn, progressively improving its accuracy. This way, Machine Learning is one of the most interesting methods in Computer Science these days, and it'
This post introduces Arrow Flight SQL, a protocol for interacting with SQL databases over Arrow Flight. We have been working on this protocol over the last six months, and are looking for feedback, interested contributors, and early adopters.
Star us on GitHub In each subdomain of software, we have seen the same story over and over again. Products start small, in time, add adjacent verticals and functionality to their offerings and end up becoming a platform. Once these platforms become big enough, people start to figure out how
