I’d love to know how much Google has made from accidental clicks since it started. I used to see my mum make a couple of mistaken clicks here and there on her computer; now on mobile it’s easily 10x worse. Sometimes because she doesn’t real

Good post, thanks for sharing. I discovered CH around 2018, and I knew it would change the analytics space. I spent countless hours studying it on my own and promoting it at work (when it made sense). I also tried to land a job at companies

I do. I run Postgres in the same server as the app in some apps, with no pgbouncer, no regret at all after 10+ years.

How are you folks handling secrets in a simple way? - sops , ansible vault and similar seems too weak given the agent is gonna read them at some point if you have the pass available. - proxy injection seems too complicated and doesn’t cove

It's not clear to me whether this is being done with genuinely good intentions, or if it's just a way to put barriers in front of open-source models. We'll see.

i highly doubt you can make it faster than clickhouse, but happy to see it.

This is not my case. Today Claude code coded three features in my client saas just perfectly. Medium complex ones but perfectly from the plan, tests, linter and pr. A good CLAUDE.md is enough. Skills for auxiliary tools like sentry, grafana

WHEN do you move to Redis/Memcached? None of my projects have exceeded 1000 rps at peak, and in none of them have I felt the need to move from unlogged PostgreSQL tables to Redis. Just trying to get a sense of where people draw the lin

Brandur of course knows more than me, and his framing sounds correct. I would be worried about whether the TAM of Go + Postgres is enough for business sustainability, but that says probably more about my fears than the reality in this huge

Actually, there was no search, only on-the-fly aggregations/filtering over "big data". ES was kind of famous at the time, although not the best tool for that job. afaik CH introduced FTS rececently.

I discovered ClickHouse around 2017-18 and built a PoC to replace Elasticsearch: 5x better storage and qps, in a couple of weeks. Managers rejected it because it wasn't well known and was seen as "some database made by Russians.&

I've tested the migration of the main table (IoT data), from 300GB to about 25GB in a non-production environment. Everything seems right, but I'm still delaying/procrastinating the prod migration, so I wanted to know how it i

I'm not into k8s things, but thanks. Still run this project with Postgres in the same machine as the app. No issues so far after 8 years. :)

Is anyone running self hosted timescale? How is it going? I have a use case for it, but don’t know why I’m a bit afraid of using it.

I go further, how do you work in UI/frontend tasks? As a backend I know how to control agents in backend code, but in FE I am almost lost. Any hint isn’t appreciated

Be careful of storing production ssh keys in your laptop, it will find a way to find them :/

Not the case for me. I tried .envs, ansible-vault and sops, and it always ends up reading the unencrypted ones for some reason, usually in debugging sessions, it finds a way to read them.

I just create a MVP chatbot for a client that has a Django app. I took the route to no frameworks. Claude/codex wrote the agent loop, the tools, the streaming..it’s working well for the MVP, we’ll see
