A First Look at S3 (Iceberg) Tables AWS announced S3 Tables today, which brings native support for Apache Iceberg to S3. It’s hard to overstate how exciting this is for the data analytics ecosystem. This post is a quick rundown of my th...

S3 (Iceberg) Tables is everything I dreamt of, and more. I blogged some long-form thoughts: meltware.com/2024/12/04/s...

I think we're about to see an explosion of data tools (@materialize.com, @clickhouse.com, @duckdb.org, et al.) learn to write Iceberg tables via S3 table buckets.

Congratulations to Trigger.dev on hitting GA for their realtime product! They're an early adopter of @electric-sql.com and it's been great working closely with them.

Syncing data in real-time right out of Postgres into your app β€” it's a thing people!

1/7 Everyone's talking about AI, but remember quantum computing? While AI scales to 100GW clusters, quantum computers are still mostly in labs. Here's why - and why silicon spin might be the dark horse 🧡

5/ Many obvious security flaws I'm sure - I'm neither a cryptographer nor security expert. Just enjoyed exploring :) Kinda inspired by work with Cloudflare workers

4/ Just an experiment in composing existing tools (keyring, git, RSA) rather than building new platform.

02.12.2024 11:24 πŸ‘ 0 πŸ” 0 πŸ’¬ 1 πŸ“Œ 0

3/ System keyring could hold private keys, public keys enable sharing. Git handles distribution:

```
for pub_key in team.keys() {
let encrypted = pub_key.encrypt(value)?;
secret.add(username, encrypted);
}
```

2/ Core idea is straightforward: store per-user encrypted values locally.

```
struct Secret {
encrypted_values: HashMap<String, String>, // username -> encrypted
environment: String
}

```

1/ Most secret managers are cloud-first. Was wondering if we could do simpler: local encryption + git for small teams

🧡 Had idea while learning Rust on the weekend - minimal approach to secret sharing

The Claude release in October took ai coding from a gimmick to something seriously useful. I'd dabbled before but the tools broke down quite easily. But in the last week, I built several fairly complex apps in domains I know little about in < 8 hours.

These are just observations from the trenches. What patterns are you seeing? /end

The biggest deals often start with the smallest commitments. Nature of trust maybe.

Starting to think "land and expand" isn't a strategy. Just trust compounding. POCs often optimize for wrong things. Not about features checked - about confidence built.

No shame in "service enabled". Trust is human first. Champion needs support, then product license. Careful when you structure offer to be able to phase out support slowly.

$50k might be sweet-spot number? Small enough to stay under radar. Big enough to matter. What have you seen? Have yet to see a counter-example.

Trust tips into revenue when champion feels confident enough to stake reputation.

Pretty convinced the best enterprise deals start with someone just actually caring to solve their champions most pressing problems. - Everything else comes later.

OSS is a trust factory running at scale. How do you turn stars into champions?

Magic moment when a developer becomes a champion in their org. They shift from "cool tech" to "I can solve real problems with this."

Some unstructured thoughts on early enterprise gtm. 🧡

It’s not about how big you can sell. But how small.
Trust might be the biggest moat in enterprise software.

Do you have a Day 0 and 1 strategy?

is anyone working on upscaling video in realtime for ai downstream processing? thinking of ability to to store 100x more data (historical?) in hot tier for fast ai access? am I thinking it wrong?
