@muratdemirbas and I did a fun exercise and read a HotOS paper ("Real Life Is Uncertain. Consensus Should Be Too!") together. We recorded the entire messy process. It is a long video of us reading, questioning, guessing, and arguing with the paper. youtu.be/4HTc4o-t3Cw

Deep work crushes shallow signals.
Amidst this deepseek frenzy, ask yourself - when did you last think deeply or do something intellectually challenging?
If not, you’re just over-optimizing your career while others innovate.
Take bets. Take on tougher problems. Challenge yourself with harder subjects.
When was the last time you learnt something just for fun and not because it will give you a "better job"?
Until this happens, someone else will keep creating deep-tech, while we crib!
note - this is for those who are now making decent income and out or scarcity.

First post of the year! @andy_pavlo got me thinking about why Confluent didn't build WarpStream.
My conclusion: legacy infrastructure companies are going to have a tough time against cloud native, AI-enabled, post-ZIRP competitors.

This week on the unikernel application spotlight we boot up @TigerBeetleDB a new fast OLTP db! Written in @ziglang it makes use of io_uring via @axboe , O_DIRECT, a deterministic simulator and way more than I can put into this tweet - check it out. youtube.com/watch?v=OjhBNsTf…

New post is up! Next-gen infrastructure must support flexible deployments. Embedded, single-node, clustered, BYOC, SaaS, and self-managed. We're finally able to do this with one codebase.

Seokjoo Cho (@seokjoo_cho) presents his work on building ScaleCache, a scalable page cache for multiple SSDs at @IllinoisCDS Systems Research Seminar.
The work appears at EuroSys'24,

matklad will present TigerBeetle’s LSM-Forest compaction at @P99CONF
- storage determinism across replicas for faster recovery from disk faults
- perfect pacing to solve write stalls for predictable P100s
- and with static memory allocation

TigerBeetle’s LSM compaction is “the beating heart” of the database.
Bringing together ideas at the intersection of global consensus protocol and local storage engine.

We just released slatedb.io 0.2.0! 🎉 This release has:
- in-memory block cache
- on-disk object cache
- garbage collection
- compressed bloom filters
Next up: admin CLI, range queries, and more cache improevements.

Came across this book today. While the CSAPP book has a couple of chapters on these topics, this book is completely devoted to just memory hierarchy and tries to provide a holistic overview of the system, including cache memory, RAM and spinning disks.
It's a bit dated now and does not discuss SSD or NVME storage. The ToC is very interesting and includes case studies from real-world systems.
Now, only if there was enough time to read it.

I wrote a post on how data serialization and unproductive allocations can negatively impact your application. In it, I show how very simple tools and minor code changes can lead to great performance improvements.

Many of you know I've been angel investing for a while now. Today I'm excited to announce the next step: I've started Materialized View Capital.
MVC is a micro VC fund that lets me continue doing what I enjoy, and take some friends along for the ride.

New post! I talk with @philippemnoel about @paradedb, the experience of building as a PostgreSQL extension, pg_duckdb, pg_lakehouse, and more...

I am thrilled to announce that @ManningBooks has decided to publish Thinking in Distributed Systems
Writing this book was challenging but rewarding. Your support, your feedback and comments kept me motivated throughout.
Thank you ❤️

The funny part is that it doesn't even need almost any time at all to learn a few basic concepts that will take care of p99 usage.
I wrote this many years ago to help a few team mates git-guide.shantanugoel.com/

New post up! I cover @paradedb's pg_lakehouse, serving data lake data in production, and Kafka Connect.
