I've been spending a lot of time getting to know Azure for the last month or so. My initial thought was I really do not like this, now it's growing on me??? There are some major issues but I'm starting to like how I can group resources together.

We posted a tutorial on our blog to build a modern e-commerce platform that leverages search capabilities using Tembo’s VectorDB Stack. Create an app with semantic search capabilities, allowing users to find items using natural language queries:

Recently the Neon team asked the #PostgreSQL community "Why Does Everyone Run Ancient Postgres Versions?" Shaun Thomas took the time to write a response on Tembo's behalf: https://buff.ly/3ACdjBZ Disagree? Find him in the hallway track at Postgres Conference Seattle this week and discuss!

Plugging the Postgres Upgrade Hole | Tembo

We at Tembo truly love Postgres. We're convinced everyone would love Postgres just as much as we do if only upgrading Postgres between major versions wouldn't be so darn difficult.

So you want to roll your own application platform. All you need is: Linux Docker Kubernetes Istio Prometheus Fluentd Grafana Jaeger Harbor Open Policy Agent Vault GitHub Actions and Argo CD Oh, almost forgot, you're also going to need servers, people, and glue. Bring lots of glue.

I am trying to wrap my head around Azure 🧵. Maybe someone out there can explain. I've never had a capacity issue in AWS or GCP, ever. Normally I am using standard instance types (non GPU). Basically a mix of general/cpu/memory instances.

Bluesky has grown to 13M users in a year and a half — thank you all for choosing us! We’ve raised a $15M Series A to support our growth and continue to build an open social network that is designed around you, the user.

Bluesky now has 13M+ users, the @atproto.com developer ecosystem continues to grow, and we’ve shipped features like DMs and video! We’re excited to announce that we’ve raised a $15M Series A to continue growing the community, investing in Trust and Safety, and supporting the dev ecosystem.

I really want Bluesky to succeed, but I also want to see a healthy ecosystem spring up around the AT Protocol, and that includes Bluesky alternatives. If we want to avoid a repeat of what happened with Twitter then a healthy ecosystem is a requirement.
