🤩 Chapter 9 of my book "MariaDB for Developers" is ready. This chapter will give software engineers knowledge and tools to go to production with confidence. 👉 mariadbfordevelopers.com Also, the book title is going to change. I'll share an update later. #Databases #SQL #Developers #DevRel
I was asked today "why is your book not finished yet?" It was a friendly question. Well, this picture partially tells why: I'm writing the text "by hand".
📘 Chapter 8 is ready! This took long to write. Months. But I'm confident it explains what developers need to know about transactions to use persistence frameworks like #Hibernate, #SQLAlchemy, #Sequelize, #MyBatis, and others more confidently. 👉 mariadbfordevelopers.com

A tiny Orange Pi (Raspberry Pi alternative) cluster running Valkey (Redis-compatible #opensource database) deployed on K3s. Failover works flawlessly. This is just for fun and learning, not a production environment by any means. www.youtube.com/shorts/qUapw...

📢 Hey #Vaadin users! If you also use CrudUI Add-on, I'm working on version 2.0.0 which includes breaking changes. I want your feedback on the new API. Please feel free to leave your comments here: github.com/alejandro-du...
Crud UI v2 (type-safe, fluent API) · Issue #58 · alejandro-du/crudui
Let's use this issue to discuss ideas around CrudUI version 2.0.0. My idea is to change the current API to a fluent, type-safe API (with optional property definitions via Strings). A bit of history...

🎬 If you create talking-head videos with almost zero editing, you probably know how easy it is to forget that your camera is covering part of the screen. I've caught myself showing things right behind the camera overlay more than once. #DevRel #DeveloperRelations
🤓Wrote a short recap of some internal AI demos we ran at @mariadb.bsky.social recently. Mostly #SQL + #Vector search + #RAG patterns. Repo links are in the post if you want to poke around the code: 👉https://mariadb.com/resources/blog/we-ran-an-internal-ai-demo-competition-here-are-the-winners/

🤔 Here's why MariaDB doesn't offer an "inner product" distance function 🧵
🤓 The truck (or bus) factor measures the number of key people who would need to be lost (for example leave the team) before a software project is seriously compromised or unable to continue. This paper from 2016 proposes a method for estimating this factor. arxiv.org/pdf/1604.06766
⚠️ Be very, very careful with "YOLO modes" when running AI agents. This kind of thing happens. See this GitHub issue for a real-life example: github.com/google-gemin... #aifails #ai #mcp #devops
Lazydocker doesn't provide a built-in option for running new containers. Here's how to add it. www.youtube.com/watch?v=slas...
