@andrew_barba @DrizzleORM damn, didn't see this reply and just realized this myself. you are exactly right. would be amazing if drizzle returned a tuple if the number of inserts is statically known. i'm sure there is some TS wizardry do be done here

What I can’t get over in this blog is author questions whether provider is responsible for tuning config based on instance size. Uhh yes. Customers select config. It’s full responsibility of provider to give the customer a setup suited for what they selected. That’s the whole
We wanted to see how our Postgres service ranks among the others on the @PlanetScale benchmarks. The blog post (link in 🧵) reviews in detail the benchmarking methodology, relevancy, fairness, and openness.

@andrew_barba This was a great talk and nice to see Pulumi used in such a novel way with Swift. I need to send this to some of my Ruby-loving friends who keep asking me when Pulumi is going to support their favourite language

This is how I feel about mongo. Mongo is fine. Atlas is great. For example Atlas has had NVMe “metal” for like 6 years. It’s incredible and gotten me out of many jams at barstool.
