Very excited to share our experience using @vitessio at @SlackHQ. We have been wanting to tell this story for a long time. Hope y’all enjoy it! https://t.co/QdNvORTMMO

@Eligregl @AnthropicAI Hi @Eligregl . How many licenses do you need? At @code4venezuela we have non profit licenses from @AnthropicAI . We can help with 10 seats. Reach out in DM and we can coordinate

@Gametime @clawdrien I wouldn’t trust @Gametime policy that much. I’ve been trying to get a resolution on World Cup tickets that I bought through their platform. I’ve spent multiple hours on the phone and no refund or replacement. I still don’t have my tickets :/

[Rafael Chacon @rafaelchacon]

@MTWcollectibles @ScottFriedman3 @FIFAWorldCup I’m running into the same issue for France vs Senegal. I’ve fighting @Gametime for several days now. They said the seller transferred the tickets but I don’t have anything in my account. @FIFAWorldCup said is not their problem either… what a mess

¿Podemos adivinar lo que va a pasar en Venezuela🇻🇪 luego del 3 de enero?

Hoy los invito a conocer a Umbral, una herramienta para entender el futuro basado en datos, reducir la incertidumbre, con la idea de combatir la desinformación y la desesperanza.

¡Abro 🧵! 👇🏼

Yesterday we had an outage affecting all services in the us-east-2 (Ohio) region

We have published the post-mortem:

https://t.co/zc9k4tONyU

This post is an account of what happened, how it happened, and the concrete steps we are taking to make sure it does not happen again. We know you depend on Supabase to be reliable. We let you down in both reliability and communications.

I am grateful to every customer who reported issues, waited patiently, and provided feedback on how we can improve. We will make major structural changes to earn back your trust.

@guptamanan100 showing some of the interesting work we’re doing for @multigres at @supabase. He leveraged @claudeai to port the Postgres parser to Go: https://t.co/M5fj79f71a. Amazing to see how AI became a real engineering multiplier for this use case.

Para esto son los informes de derechos humanos y el periodismo.
Gracias a tantas cosas documentadas y trabajadas es que hay un diagnóstico certero de lo que nos ocurre. Por eso los discursos en el Nobel de la Paz han estado tan afinados y contundentes, porque están comprobados.

today we are launching iceberg-js - a typescript library for @ApacheIceberg

Iceberg is an open table format for data warehouses.

given the industry adoption, i was a surprised at the lack of developer tooling. supabase will fix this

[Paul Copplestone - e/postgres @kiwicopple]

at @supabase we're building:

◆ a new storage engine for Postgres
◆ an open source sharding engine for Postgres
◆ an open source ETL engine for Postgres
◆ an FDW extension to query anything from Postgres

we hire talented people who just want to build. come us ↓

[Paul Copplestone - e/postgres @kiwicopple]

One thing that we don’t shout about much at @supabase, but I’m particularly proud of: we have engineered the entire company to be as open source as possible:

1/ we prioritise supporting existing open source projects over building from scratch

2/ we upstream everything we can

3/ we donate to frameworks and projects, and acquire them if they can’t find stability

4/ we prioritise community contributors over building ourselves (and sponsor them for their work)

5/ our code is 100% free and open source (and to back this up: used by behemoths like Alicloud who don’t pay us anything). Essentially every engineer we employ is working on open source products

it has been incredibly difficult to pull this off, striking the balance between commercialization and giving away as much as possible. As we grow bigger I only hope to support more open source communities

[Rafael Chacon @rafaelchacon]

Great work by @guptamanan100 . Habemus parser in @multigres

[Sugu Sougoumarane @ssougou]

Largest @multigres PR ever, submitted by @guptamanan100. The entire Postgres parser in go https://t.co/LPj0dNCXJD,

Today we are making the @orioledb Patent freely available to the Postgres community

Oriole is a storage extension for Postgres which uses Postgres' pluggable storage system. It's a drop-in replacement for Postgres' existing storage engine (Heap).

Our north star is to upstream Oriole to be part of the Postgres source tree, developed and maintained in the open alongside the rest of Postgres (if the community want it!)

We announced the acquisition of Oriole over a year ago. Since then, we have been working on cleaning up the legal structure and finalizing the asset transfers.

We have wrapped up all legal activities, and we fully own US Patent 10,325,030 (“Durable multiversion B+-tree”).

@supabase is making this Patent explicitly available to all Oriole users (including proprietary forks) in accordance with the open source license.

Oriole benchmarks show that it is around 5.5x faster than the default storage engine (Heap):

@stylessh @supabase Welcome!

[Sugu Sougoumarane @ssougou]

The Multigres Architecture Overview is out. Also, we've started pushing code into the repo. Things are starting to move. Link in thread.

@WillisJonny @RobertJBye @figma Would tags help for this kind of organization? Use tags to group different projects?

[Rafael Chacon @rafaelchacon]

@aesadde I would error on the side of caution. I would definitely change them

[Rafael Chacon @rafaelchacon]

@RobertJBye Be safe!
