Today I’m excited to announce that we deployed our next-generation storage engine that’s built on InfluxDB IOx in our InfluxDB Cloud platform. #influxdb
Today, most people develop applications on operating systems such as Linux which are more than thirty years old, even though computing has changed a lot in the meantime. Since Linux was first released in 1991, the size of application state and data has grown by several orders of magnitude, many applications have moved…
MASSIVE dataset and Massively Multilingual NLU (MMNLU-22) competition and workshop will help researchers scale natural-language-understanding technology to every language on Earth.
gcloud CLI enables super-fast data transfers into Cloud Storage and delivers a consistent CLI experience across all Google Cloud services.
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
A few months ago, a proposal was published to make WordPress officially support SQLite. After the proposal received a lot of positive feedback from the community, we started working on an implement…
We present a dataset of 5,85 billion CLIP-filtered image-text pairs, 14x bigger than LAION-400M, previously the biggest openly accessible image-text dataset…
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!
Radix DLT (Distributed Ledger Technology) is a distributed ledger: a serializable log of transactions over a state machine, along with mechanisms for querying that state. Throughout this report, “Radix” refers to the Radix DLT software .

* We have developed three techniques to identify ransomware operators' dark websites hosted on public IP addresses, allowing us to uncover previously unknown infrastructure for the DarkAngels, Snatch, Quantum and Nokoyawa ransomware groups. * The methods we used to identify the public internet IPs involved matching…
Yes, the stats collector is gone from PostgreSQL 15, but there's lots of new exciting features to talk about!
We are splitting our database into Main and CI to improve the scalability and reliability of GitLab.com.
WordPress can be (and is) used for any kind of site, regardless of size or complexity. Some common use-cases include: Single-page landing sitesSimple company sites with just a few pages. These site…
About a year ago the PostgreSQL community discovered that fsync (on Linux and some BSD systems) may not work the way we always thought it is, with possibly disastrous consequences for data durability/consistency (which is something the PostgreSQL community really values).
Most people use the mattn/go-sqlite3 package to interact with SQLite in Go. This package uses cgo and bundles the SQLite C amalgamation files with the Go source.
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.
Back in 2018, now five years ago, we published a blog post describing our 400+ node Elasticsearch cluster. In that post we brought up an important topic: So far, we have elected to not upgrade the cluster. We would like to, but so far there have been more urgent tasks. How we actually perform the upgrade is undecided…
This is a reverse chronological list of the major TinyBase releases, with highlighted features.
They’re so fast we can’t catch up! Check out our benchmarks with two datasets to learn how we used continuous aggregates to make queries up to 44,000x faster.
Today, we’re excited to announce a product that we feel is transformational: a persistent, scalable, cloud-native Materialize.
We’re excited about the MERGE command in PostgreSQL 15. We have some ideas about using it for data loading with an example use case for remote sensors.
You can now use PlanetScale in HTTP-only environments like Cloudflare Workers, Vercel Edge Functions, and Netlify Edge Functions.
