@Uber_Support 3 days has passed - waiting on response in DM

[Shawn Debnath @ShawnDebnath]

@Uber I am shocked at the service from Uber and Saltoro. I had placed an order with Saltoro, they called and I was unable to respond. I then get a message saying I asked them to cancel the order. Which is blatantly false. (1 of 2)

[Shawn Debnath @ShawnDebnath]

This is the part that’s infuriating.

[Shawn Debnath @ShawnDebnath]

The order showed up on activity after 15 mins, and I was charged for it from the looks of it. I had to submit a request to get a refund for absolutely no fault of my own. This isn’t the customer first experience you expect. @DoorDash seems to have figured out how to do this right

[Shawn Debnath @ShawnDebnath]

Second - I try to get to get to the app to request help and I don’t see the order in my activity. How can a tech company in 2026 be lossy on data like this. Mind blowing.

@Fastmail can someone take a look at ticket # 650224? It’s past the 24 hour SLA.

It was great to see customers excited about #aurora #postgresql #serverless at #AWSWhatsNext. Thank you @AWSloft #NYC for hosting!

It is sometime useful to have a senior developers in the team..

[Shawn Debnath @ShawnDebnath]

Cant’t emphasize this enough. A task may seem daunting but give it a shot first. You will be surprised what you get out of it.

@ggervelis Some very geeky database stuff! :)

Excited to talk about the SLRU to buffer cache migration without on-disk changes at #pgcon2019 UnConference

[Shawn Debnath @ShawnDebnath]

If you run into fsync or checkpointer issues - let me know!

[Shawn Debnath @ShawnDebnath]

My first patch for #postgresql, co-authored with @MengTangmu, is in! Fsync queue re-factoring will allow for new storage managers to be introduced, like the one needed to transition SLRU to buffer cache.
