PlanetScale has deployed millions of EBS volumes in data centers around the world.

@nvw.io shares insight on the real failure rate of these volumes, and how even minor failures can have a large impact on production workloads.

I know BlueSky has officially replaced Twitter for me because I now need to take mental health breaks from it too. Truly satisfying, keep up the good work, and also, bye.

I really bloody love this event. It’s been awesome hanging out with people and I enjoyed the talks I got to.

Lots of session clashes this afternoon, so I have a bunch of videos to watch in a few weeks’ time. For now though, a couple more hours of this chaos 💖

I've been helping the open source Vitess team with a rebrand, starting with an updated logo. The mark represents horizontal database sharding. Hopefully a new site design will follow soon.

We Europeans (including the UK) have no time to be depressed, to be angry, or to be scared. Too much time has been wasted over the past two years. No more burying one’s head in the sand, no more hoping for the best. Time to step up. For our security, for Ukraine, for our future.

We’ve launched a new homepage inspired by the classic, minimalist, and old boring websites of the past. It’s a tribute to the 10x distinguished engineers’ website. Take a look.

Just launched a new planetscale.com website. We looked at a bunch of SaaS marketing sites and did the most opposite thing possible.

Our new database overview page was the most fun I’ve had working on a UI in a while. It features a infrastructure diagram that scales in complexity with your setup.
