New post! I think we’re on the cusp of very portable VMs.

"...but in most cases, the correct set of service boundaries is an emergent property that results from continually building and deepening your knowledge over time."

Yes! Iterating on product market fit on top of microservices is a bad idea. https://x.com/the1024th/status/1848397412546580873

Just merged atomic batch writes for SlateDB! Next up? Transactions! First serializable isolation, then snapshot serializable isolation. 🚀

.. and a lot of testing 🤣

TIL..

• Oracle and GCP do not charge for any network ingress between them.
• Seagate Lyve Cloud (S3 compatible object store) doesn’t charge egress fees or per-action and instead charges just for storage.

Anyone use Lyve? Never even heard of it. https://t.co/ooYoc1XyMC

Lots of interesting stuff happening in k8s/container world right now. @LoopholeLabs's https://architect.run/, unikernel integrations, gVisord/Firecracker advances, and some forthcoming service mesh stuff and multi-cloud k8s projects.

Pretty impressive how easy it is to get Flask running on @vercel. They’ve come a long way from 2-3 years ago.

.@felderainc looks really neat. Incremental compute like @MaterializeInc, but as a query engine rather than DB.

On-call AI is an obvious use case (https://x.com/criccomini/status/1631052369948733440). Tons of startups are working on this. But I kinda feel like @datadoghq is just gonna do it?

Anyone out there using unikernels or nanovms? Kinda curious about how they’re being used. They seem super interesting for infra companies…

Been hearing a lot of good things about @dltHub. Integrating ETL into ML/AI/analytics engineer tool chains is a neat idea.

Every time I have coffee with @apurva1618, I leave feeling so energized. Really excited about what @responsive_apps is doing. There's a silent majority of underserved Kafka Streams users out there that deserve a platform like Responsive's.

This is a great post to share with that relative that keeps asking how LLMs work.

I can’t believe this doesn’t exist. Surely I am missing something. Anyone know a service that offers it? https://x.com/criccomini/status/1843007138005991650
