You've out done yourself this year @CampBestival. Sun kissed and smiling. It's time for bed

[Expanso @ExpansoIO]

Remember j-f47ac10b-58cc-4372-a567-0e02b2c3d479?

Of course not.

Bacalhau 1.8 lets you name your jobs, rerun them, version and even diff your jobs before you run them.

[Expanso @ExpansoIO]

Bacalhau v1.8.0 is live.

We’ve made distributed computing radically more usable and radically more cost-efficient:

 • 📊 Native Splunk integration: Slash logging costs by up to 80%
 • 🏷️ Name-based jobs: Human-readable jobs, not UUIDs
 • 🛠️ Enhanced daemon reliability for services at scale

Built for the platform engineers actually running modern infra.

@ExpansoIO @DorsetBlind Thanks to the amazing team at @ExpansoIO , everyone who cheered me on, and of course, the Pi that didn’t overheat and fry mid-race. 😅

Ran the #TCSLondonMarathon with a Raspberry Pi strapped to my arm 😅

Why? So @ExpansoIO could deploy @BacalhauProject — an open-source orchestrator that tracked my performance without leaking my PII🏃‍♂️💻

Also raised £ for Dorset Blind Association ❤️

@ExpansoIO More importantly, I was running for a cause close to my heart — the @DorsetBlind Association, which supports people with sight loss across the region. 🧡
If you'd like to chip in (or reward my wearable server experiment), you can donate here:

Kicking off the week with a full heart and smile - last week was on fire @ExpansoIO💥
CEO @aronchick took the stage @KubeCon_, sharing our vision for distributed compute.
We demoed @BacalhauProject at the @intel booth
And we won Open Source Data Platform of the Year🤯

Watching Simple Minds on @JonathanRossITV. Jim Kerr bares such a striking resemblance to Bob Mortimer, I keep expecting him to call down the 'Dove from above'

[Expanso @ExpansoIO]

Run SQL on data without moving it? Yup. 💥

Just dropped a guide using @BacalhauProject + @duckdb to build a distributed data warehouse across the US + EU.

🔹 No data movement
🔹 Regional compliance
🔹 Anomaly detection, customer insights, & more

Wait… what?! We just found out that we were a finalist for the 2024 @CRN Tech Innovator Awards—and no one told us! 😅

Apparently, we made it all the way to the finals… and lost to @RedHat Device Edge. Honestly? If you’re going to lose, losing to Red Hat isn’t bad company to be in.
