@samlambert @hollylawly lmao, this tbh: my entire first month on a kinesis

[Matt Layher @mdlayher]

PlanetScale and I just sponsored @dominikh: staticcheck is crucial for every project we build and we are so grateful for your work. Happy holidays from @PlanetScale!

[Sam Lambert @samlambert]

We are bringing this power to Postgres

PlanetScale is a beast.

Our largest workload there has 256 shards and 300 TB (!) of data.

Queries respond at ~10ms (p99) at peak hours. Just bonkers.

[Sam Lambert @samlambert]

PlanetScale uses Cursor to build PlanetScale, which Cursor then uses to build Cursor, which PlanetScale uses to build PlanetScale, and so on.

[Matt Layher @mdlayher]

@CallumStyan It is, and I also find it unsettling.

hello world https://t.co/gATRc3C2Yx

[PlanetScale @PlanetScale]

We’ve been hard at work building the most scalable and reliable sharding solution for Postgres.

A great piece of software deserves a great name and iconography.

Say hello to Neki.

@fmzakari @FrameworkPuter This is incredible! Please share the files if your friend is willing!

We're looking for new Software Engineers at @PlanetScale. Ideally you're a great fit for this role if you enjoy working autonomously, are comfortable collaborating with multiple teams, and have a deep understanding of distributed systems and Go.

[Ellie Huxtable @ellie_huxtable]

just moved one of the Atuin databases over to @PlanetScale

nicest managed postgres I've used yet 💪

[Sam Lambert @samlambert]

The project nobody has seen yet is Nova. Vitess for Postgres. Built from first principles, not using Vitess. We have spent 4 years sharding some of the world's largest databases. Those learnings will inform an architecture bespoke to Postgres. Only PlanetScale can do this.

[Sam Lambert @samlambert]

I’ll be sharing regular updates on two products: our sharded Postgres offering, and the high-performance, resilient Postgres product we shipped today.

It’s time to dive into hell with @itsmecraiglee. #FreedomConquersAll #TheGameAwards

Super stoked to see that more than a million Helldivers have made planetfall in the last 24 hours! @helldivers2

[Matt Layher @mdlayher]

@tqbf I think you've pretty much nailed it. I just don't really get any value out of scrolling here anymore because the suggestions have become astronomically worse. Hopeful for the other place.
