@MaximeHeckel coming in hot with the microscopic design fixes!

[Karri Saarinen @karrisaarinen]

We've had this issue long time how the app zoom mis-aligns the traffic lights. As part of our weekly Quality Wednesday meeting, @MaximeHeckel fixed this.

Traffic lights stay vertically aligned with the icons as the zoom level changes

Thanks @simeonGriggs for the reminder

Today we're announcing our second employee tender offer.

We passed $100m ARR earlier this year and now have more than 40,000 paying customers.

The tender lets our teammates participate in that success at a $2.5B valuation:

@Jingg_n_Tonic oh man! very cool! it is my first post in 5 years but what luck!

[Peter Travers @traverspw]

I did a thing!

Rethinking delta sync at scale with @turbopuffer.

Engineer @traverspw on how we made Linear’s sync latency predictable as workspaces grow: https://t.co/CtGb0U2hTx

[Peter Travers @traverspw]

@switz213 @linear @turbopuffer honestly, turbopuffer is the part of our stack I'm the least worried about. haven't heard a peep out of it.

but we do have read replicas and dri plans to take the load in the worst case.

[Peter Travers @traverspw]

@samlambert but glad there are great vendors out there to wear them

[Peter Travers @traverspw]

@samlambert if you don't want to see these around the office would recommend infra at a product company

[Peter Travers @traverspw]

@cozytomcat @linear @turbopuffer it's a little complicated our customers have grown a lot since we replaced the old version but it's roughly 8s faster. main win was just reliable low variance in the p99 rather than speed.

[Peter Travers @traverspw]

@ManuelBichler @linear @turbopuffer I think people still want to see what is being done and why. whilst biased, I use Linear as observability, organization, and a system of record for my work

[Peter Travers @traverspw]

@switz213 @linear @turbopuffer falls straight back to postgres!

[Peter Travers @traverspw]

@IncidentNoodle @Roadhouse_eth @linear @turbopuffer postgres also has search indexes like gin indexes! it's just not as performant or reliable with respect to latency as tpuf

[Peter Travers @traverspw]

@Roadhouse_eth @IncidentNoodle @linear @turbopuffer an inverted index let's you query for a set of things that match the index key rather than a single value

here's a great explanation: https://t.co/p0mL4WEWuF

@siddsanyal @artman thanks for taking the time to read!

[Peter Travers @traverspw]

@MoebiusCorzer thanks so much!

[Peter Travers @traverspw]

@rickasaurus @GergelyOrosz fair point! our rough target numbers were < 2s p99 at a million sync actions. we wanted reliability more than performance. current p99 this morning is ~1.5 seconds.

[Peter Travers @traverspw]

@GergelyOrosz I appreciate the kind words! just lucky to have the chance work on problems like this!

@hallhultet @TimZolleis @linear we recently launched a code review product
