The best birthday present possible 🔥
Last year in August, my team at @simplyblock.io and I decided not to add more duct tape to Supabase but to fork it.
The idea, a fully self-hostable, production-grade, serverless Postgres platform. Today we're happy to open-sourcing #Vela!
sblk.xyz/vela-oss
@xata.io published this incredible blog post as a reaction to @planetscale.com benchmark the other day 🔥
It's beautiful to see the performance gain possible by utilizing our @simplyblock.io storage layer 💙
We're happy to join @xata.io and provide the storage foundation of their new #Postgres platform.
Congratulations to the launch. Stronger. Together.
Distributed storage system mounted over NVMe/TCP.
Xata uses an architecture that separates storage from compute. We’ve partnered with @simplyblock.io in order to integrate their distributed software-defined storage system in the Xata platform.
Simplyblock uses NVMe/TCP and SPDK for ultra-high performance and low latency.
🚀 Looking for ultra-fast, simple and scalable storage fro your Proxmox VE? Learn how simplyblock integrates with Proxmox and provides NVMe/TCP block storage access for all of your demanding workloads.

Bare-Metal or Virtualized #Kubernetes? 🤔
Our CEO @robpankow.bsky.social has a clear opinion. There is no good reason to run Kubernetes virtualized. Unless you want to waste worthwhile hardware resources that is.
How do you use Kubernetes? 🧵👇
See the difference!

💡 Scalable architectures, two concepts: 𝙎𝙘𝙖𝙡𝙚-𝙐𝙥 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙎𝙘𝙖𝙡𝙚-𝙊𝙪𝙩
But when to use one over the other?
@noctarius.com compares the approaches: simplicity and limited scalability vs complexity and higher scalability.

If you are in Berlin, there's a new "All in Kubernetes" meetup: lu.ma/302v7ag3?tk=...
I'm plannig to go and mingle :)
❓ Have you ever heard of NVMe over TCP protocol?
❓Do you know how it compares to traditional iSCSI?
In the newest blog post we are looking into evolution of networked storage and compare NVMe/TCP vs. iSCSI.
📖 Enjoy the read!

How to make me feel "Short Circuit"? 😅🫣🤣
Something wonderful has happened... Storage No. 5 is alive. It's using simplyblock.
Do you remember No. 5?
I've always been interested in encryption. While I suck at math, it fascinated me. Just like other things way above my head ... e.g. string theory 😅🫣🤣
Encrypting data is super important. Thankfully DARE, or Date At Rest Encryption, provides us with a great set of guidelines and best practices. ⬇️
❓ Have you ever wondered what's the difference between data-at-rest and data-in-use? If yes, check out our latest blog post on Data At Rest Encryption (#DARE).
Simplyblock provides data-at-rest encryption with a fully multi-tenant DARE feature set.
