Exciting opportunity! As I shift over to the Storage team at Supabase, we’re opening up a spot on the Data Eng team.

If you’re curious about the work or what it’s like here, my DMs are open.

PyPack Trends uses SQLite as a caching layer in front of BigQuery. 13.5 GiB to store all of PyPI weekly downloads data.

The SQLite file is hosted on the same VPS as the backend, with indexes in place to optimize for low latency point queries.
