📝 "Revisiting the Outbox Pattern" New blog post is out, taking a fresh look at the outbox pattern: how to implement it correctly, is it still relevant, which alternatives exist? 👉 https://t.co/A9VMVmgliV

You Don't Need Kafka, Just Use Postgres" Considered Harmful #apachekafka https://t.co/cDWR2DGAeD

We treat Kafka like a complex, magical black box. It's not. At its core, a single Kafka partition is one of the simplest, "dumbest" data structures in computing: an append-only commit log. You can think of it as a text file where you can only write at the end. MESSAGE_1

Having multiple copies of your data, laid out for different access patterns, is completely fine. Desirable even. Just make sure to have one canonical source of truth and drive updates to the copies from there.

New blog post! "How Would You Like Your Iceberg Sir? Stream or Batch Ordered?" Many teams today are trying to unify their streaming and batch pipelines over Apache Iceberg. But physical unification comes with trade-offs: 🔹 Flink streaming mode and other stream processors want

📝 Blogged: "'You Don't Need Kafka, Just Use Postgres' Considered Harmful" In which I'm arguing that both Postgres and Kafka are great tools for their respective purposes. But don't create your custom implementation of one on top of the other. 👉 https://t.co/YGpnoNQRnP

progress on our db migration - ended up deploying a debezium server to help with CDC a copy of it also runs in aws for each dev against their dev db so we have proper testing honestly don't know how people build stuff without full infra capabilities

🚀Contributions are not limited to just writing code - sharing your experiences can be just as valuable! 🎉 ✨René Rütter recently shared his insights on optimizing Oracle snapshot performance using the Debezium Oracle connector. https://t.co/Sgf6tJ3kcz

Just wrote a blog post that covers two of my favorite, underutilized software engineering topics: bloom filter variants and using mathematical insights to optimize data structures. The post summarizes a 2012 paper "The Variable-Increment Counting Bloom Filter"

Kafka connect bug causes data loss for all source & sink connectors (KAFKA-18073). Fixed, but unreleased. Interim workaround: set errors.retry.timeout to -1 (default value of 0 causes data loss). Monitor total-records-skipped metric to detect when this happens.

"design tinyurl" is still unparalleled as a systems design question despite being the most popular for all these years you simply can't fake it, there's too many rabbit-holes if you just memorize the answer, you'll always trip up and get caught by a good interviewer

That's not a good question if you're looking to hire software engineers. Either they happen to remember the little math factoid this is targeting, or--the more likely case--it just creates frustration. Either case yields not a meaningful signal whether they are a good dev.

Last race for the year: 3.5 km at the 37th annual run on New Year's Eve in Euskirchen. Way more hilly than I'm used to, but good fun nevertheless. My personal goal for '25: run 1,200 km over the course of the year 🏃.

News: [ANNOUNCE] SynchDB 1.0 Released - PostgreSQL Extension for Real-Time Database Synchronization

It's this kind of comment which makes @mitchellh a true open-source role model to me: giving a shout-out to other alternatives in the space, while announcing Ghostty, his latest OSS project. Way to go! https://t.co/Ew30cxVgJ8

The One Billion Row Challenge was designed to see how fast you could aggregate 1B rows using modern #Java. As @gunnarmorling said, "Wow, this thing really took off!" Learn the tricks used by the fastest solutions during Gunnar's #P99CONF talk. https://t.co/5Y2gxntE21 #ScyllaDB
