I'm not asking much, can we open two files with the same name in 2026?

Practicing

Last night at the Vancouver Kafka meetup.

Finally, it's here! Time for an upgrade.

How do I get a signed copy 👀

Benchmarking CDC Tools: Supermetal vs Debezium vs Flink CDC Classic "Big Data" stack vs Rust & Arrow.

In the latest edition of the Data Streaming Journal, you can read everything about my benchmarks: which technology is the fastest, by how much, and what you can do to bridge the gap.

Can a Rust project be 3x faster than a popular Java project right out of the box?

I’m a big fan of RBIR: Rewrite Bigdata in Rust. So when @supermetal-inc.bsky.social recently launched Kafka sink support, I decided to take it for a spin and compare its performance with Debezium and Flink CDC.

Any plans to go to Vancouver next? :)

Dream Theater not getting a Grammy in 2026 tells you everything you need to know about the recognition of the Rock/Metal bands in Grammys.

Engineers don't watch this talk enough and it shows (it's not about Python btw)

that's not vibe coding though

How Goldsky Migrated Terabytes of Mission-Critical Web3 Data Goldsky avoided months of re-indexing time and seven-figure infrastructure TCO by directly migrating massive Graph Node PostgreSQL deployments with Supermetal

@goldskyio.bsky.social × @supermetal-inc.bsky.social

30 TB. 18.9B rows. Seven figures saved.

Supermetal handled the Postgres → Postgres migration so Goldsky could keep shipping.

Curious: how much time did you spend refactoring?

Claude understands me.

The Enterprise Integration Patterns book? I guess it wasn't born in the academy.

If you’re asking about Flink, Iron Functions provides TypeScript support via WASM 🙂

This is for a different project…

GitHub - plv8/plv8: V8 Engine Javascript Procedural Language add-on for PostgreSQL V8 Engine Javascript Procedural Language add-on for PostgreSQL - plv8/plv8

Does anyone have experience with github.com/plv8/plv8? I'm curious about performance.

Maybe, just maybe, having code review as the bottleneck is a... good thing?

2025 in Review with Mike Stonebraker and Andy Pavlo Webcast Dec 10: DBMS researchers Mike Stonebraker (MIT / DBOS) and Andy Pavlo (CMU) discuss which data and CS trends are heating up or cooling down heading into 2026.

Do you like databases?
Do you want to hear two database professors rant about them?
Do you need one of those professors to have a Turing Award for databases?
If yes, then join Mike Stonebraker and I next Wed Dec 10 @ 1:00pm EST for database hot takes: www.dbos.dev/webcast-2025...

btw, there is nothing better than Neue Deutsche Härte for locking in
