I’ve been hacking on something in this vein and would love your feedback. What if you could reuse your CI env by using Github Actions as your sandbox. You can reuse the caching, any oidc based roles and self host via runs-on.com for cost and performance. We expose a claude code web experience of interactive low latency chat. I have a working prototype I’m happy to share if you think it would be interesting.

Is this telemetry enabled internally at Google? Enabling it internally would be an interesting litmus test of what is required to make it privacy/security compliant.

This new release seems to continue the trend of new AWS hardware generations increasing performance while also increasing cost, as opposed to the prior trend of increased performance and decreased cost.

The "Flex" variants appear to be pushing the "burstable" machine types (T4,T3,etc) to be positioned for use in production workloads.

Is there a timeline for a clustered, HA and horizontally scaled version?

The vertical scaling and performance seem extremely interesting, but for our use cases we need HA.

From a business perspective I’m interested to hear about the plans. Will there be a per core licensing fee of some sort?

Has anyone migrated a large code base between MyPy and Pyright? In particular would love to hear about experiences with Django. Mypy’s performance and the join based type merging are quite limiting. At the same time, the ecosystem support around MyPy seems strong.

Is anyone else using MyPyC in production and can share their experience? Did you attempt the compile it all approach, or incrementally add? What do compile times look like at scale?

Would love to buy you a coffee and hear about your experience and the challenges and benefits.

I’m not super well versed, but I thought BitTorrent’s main contribution was essentially the chunking and distributed hash table. There is perhaps a hood analog of the different layers of a docker image.

I’d love for others with more knowledgeable to chime in, since this feels close to the logical end state for non-user-facing distribution. At a protocol level, content basically becomes a combination of a hash/digest and one or more canonical sources/hubs. This allow any intermediaries to cache or serve the content to reduce bandwidth/increase locality, and could have many different implementations for different environments to take advantage of local networks as well as public networks in a similar fashion as recursive DNS resolvers. In this fashion you could transparently cache at a host level as well as eg your local cloud provider to reduce latency/bw.

The “Trusted by” page has some pretty impressive flagship companies (GitHub, Slack, Square, AirBnb). Is anyone familiar with the role in which Planetscale is used at those companies? (Unless that is advertising users of vitess vs the hosted offering).

If anyone has experience using self hosted GH Actions at scale, I’d love to buy you a virtual coffee and hear about pros/cons for a parallelized CI flow currently running in Circle. Main motivation for switching would be simplification of tooling and increasing performance with better cache reuse and running within AWS for faster network access to ECR.

This tool seems interesting, but I haven’t yet figured out how to configure it to work with Django’s dynamic nature. If anyone has had good success I’d love to hear more!

Very creative, extremely complex, what a fun hack. TL;DR exploit the fact that AWS keeps your lambda process running (and in memory) beyond the time you are billed for in order to build an ephemeral cache. Creates one lambda per slice of cache (think redis slots) and provides a proxy to hide the (substantial) complexity from clients, keeping those lambdas warm, etc. I could see this being useful for cost hacking if the request volume was on the order of one request per key every few minutes.

Out of curiosity, are you using the durable, NATS-Streaming server, or just the ephemeral NATS-server? I’d be interested to hear more about the performance differences you see.

I have come to believe that privacy and permissions logic tends towards the complexity of your product. Unless you’d consider having much of your application logic be in the data store via procedures or something like VoltDB’s jar based user defined functions, I’d be wary of putting permissions logic in the DB.

I love the idea of a more efficient CDN for JS (and code overall!), but it isn’t clear to me how this handles the multitude of versions. None of the examples seem to include versioning, which is a huge oversight IMO. A future I see is IPFS for this sort of thing. All objects identified uniquely, but cacheable by multiple entities.

That’s a bit of a straw man. 1. You are using go’s built in imaginary type, and writing one from scratch in Java. 2. That is no longer idiomatic Java. Use Autovalue and the comparison is a little more fair. The LOC and complexity still come out in go’s favor for this, no doubt. 3. Beating down on Java is fun, but with Kotlin interop and adoption rate, I think the comparison will become JVM vs X.

Can you help me understand what bit rot means as you are using it, and why it is different in a mono repo vs an equally large multi-repo system?
