Fun fact: OpenAI handles 800 million users on ChatGPT with just one PostgreSQL primary and 50 read replicas 🤯
Today, OpenAI published an engineering blog explaining how they scaled their Postgres setup to support a massive 800 million users using a single primary and 50 multi-region replicas.
They dive into details around their scaling approach, the PgBouncer proxy, cache locking, and cascading read replicas. It is genuinely neat and impressive.
Some time back, I published a video on my YouTube channel where I dissected the blog and broke down the nuances.
Give it a watch - it is short and fun.
Feature requesting @YouTube for having something like subscription buckets/tags. I've easily over 100 subscriptions and it's really painful to go over all of them, let's say once in a month. There's no way I can check out vids of only few of them.
An absolute travesty at the Olympics.
Angela Carini is forced to box against a biological male. She quits after just 45 seconds, and cries hysterically as her opponent is declared the winner.
Don't look away. This is wokeness.
