The 2nd edition of Designing Data-Intensive Applications, by @martinkl and me, is finished and sent to the printers! Ebooks available next week, and print books in 3–4 weeks. Sigh of relief. 😅

(BTW, this is a good opportunity to support your favourite local bookshop!)

Here is my latest article on the world of databases: https://t.co/hngkeN0dlN

All the hot topics from the last year:
• More Postgres action!
• MCP for everyone!
• MongoDB gets litigious with FerretDB!
• File formats!
• Market movements!
• The richest person in the world!

[Mike Coutermarsh @mscccc]

6 levels of OLTP database query latency:

Nice: < 1ms
Acceptable: 1-3ms
Probably fine: 3-9ms
Slow: 10-20ms
Concerningly slow: 20-100ms
Fix it now: 100ms+

Do you like databases?
Do you want to hear two database professors rant about them?
Do you need one of those professors to have a Turing Award for databases?
If yes, then join Mike Stonebraker and I next Wed Dec 10 @ 1:00pm EST for database hot takes:

Wayne Rooney has revealed that he’d have chosen Ireland and that he was very close! 🤯

Rooney spoke with Carsley + McCarthy and he was called into the U21s

Turning down the 21s, he admitted he likely would have accepted a Senior Call-Up! 👀

[Ben Dicken @BenjDicken]

Microsoft Azure has over 40 data centers globally.

Here, I visualize (most of) them on the globe along with inter-data-center latency.

[Alex DeBrie @alexbdebrie]

Another great post + tool from Ben.

Fun to see visualized and good breakdown of the tradeoffs of different sharding strategies 💯👏

[Jeremy Daly @jeremy_daly]

It's finally here! Amazon Aurora DSQL might just be the future of distributed SQL databases. #serverless 🙌🚀
