can anyone point to the "Durable" part? looking at the docs and examples, I see Workflows and Steps and Retries, but I don't see any Durable yet. none of the examples really make it clear how or where anything gets stored

I would recommend reading more of the pricing page. You'll learn that: - $312/year and $960/year are for unlimited users, not per seat - Additional error/event volume is priced separately from the base plan - You can pay

Sentry's been around for ~15 years, and has been using a license fitting the Fair Source definition for ~5 years. This is not a "hastily preparing ourselves to be acquired" sort of move. What makes you think this is a sign of

As an Airplane customer, Ben was the man, always super helpful when we had questions. When we heard Airplane was shutting down, everyone's first thought was "can we hire that Yolken guy?"

I used to work for a bot mitigation vendor 8-10 years ago, researching / implementing signals for this cat and mouse game. This will get you past some very mundane bot detections, but really this is like, the very first baby step of a

APoSD is a relatively quick high-signal read, and not really a source of additional chaos. You can get through it in a weekend or less. It mostly gives you vocabulary and labels and explanations for things that you may already intuitively u

Love Kysely, been rooting for it ever since it was first released. Paired with kysely-codegen, it's my favorite TS <> SQL interface. Does just enough, but not too much. Had lots of good experiences working with Knex.js over the y

Yea, DuckDB is a slam dunk when you have a relatively static dataset - object storage is your durable primary SSOT, and ephemeral VMs running duckdb pointed at the object storage parquet files are your scalable stateless replicas - but the

I recently read his book, “A Philosophy of Software Design”, and loved it. It’s 175 pages of well-refined, to-the-point, applicable wisdom; highly recommended.

I see a kysely + kysely-codegen (generates types from DB schema) setup as comparable to Prisma in TS integration, with the added flexibility/closeness-to-SQL of the querybuilder. If you: - have used/liked Knex (or similar querybui

You sound like you're trying to have it both ways: "OTel solves a problem that is irrelevant unless you're massive" but also "well of COURSE it can work if you're not massive, how massive are you?" There a

The idea of slope vs y-intercept as applied to people/hiring is not some random unknown made-up theory; it's quite commonly discussed/repeated among founders, VCs, etc. I think it may've originated with John Ousterhout.

I've also been following Kysely and am a big fan, having used Objection.js and Knex a lot in the past. I consider Kysely to be the TypeScript-native spiritual successor to Knex. For a theoretical new Node + TypeScript + SQL project, th

From the pricing page: > How are rows read and rows written calculated? > Every time a query retrieves a row from the database, it is counted as a row read. Every time a row is written to the database, it is counted as a row written.
