Please stop doing this. There is no substantive point in discussing anything with people who are lazily asking ChatGPT to generate their response just to keep the ball in the air.

This is how lawful intercept systems have worked since the nineties. You’d have to go look at their jurisdiction to see whether there are laws mandating LI that impact vpn providers. Or Mulvad could clear it up, I guess. Sweden absolutely h

CockroachDB is many cool things but not even remotely in a the same category as fdb in terms of the transaction rates it can deal with per unit cost and you wouldn’t be mapping complex data structures into cdb; it’s not what it is for. They

A bigger limit for the successful cases right now is the data limit. Even if silicon wasn't a limit, there's only a good few hundred years of data, and frankly less than 30 years of high volume (if low quality) data. Science as a

I think i would say that for me the biggest issue is that what little there is in well-written layers are all java. Nothing against java but I'd be looking for Go and Rust, not Java. We did use fdb to backend more complex data structu

Basically the SREs don't have anything to do with fdb for the most part. You add a node, quiesce a node, delete a node. Otherwise it's self-balancing and trouble-free from an SRE pov. See my other message for the developer issues,

You can trivially scale fdb to tens of millions of tx/sec for write-heavy workloads without a hardcore cluster for transactions of reasonable complexity (though with careful design on my part and the part of others for collisions to be

We have run foundationdb in production for roughly 10 years. It is solid, mostly trouble free (with one very important exception: you must NEVER allow any node on the cluster to exceed 90% full), robust and insanely fast (10M+ tx/sec)

The reporter is the system that sends updates to your external observers; observers register with the reporter and the reporter facilitates their consumption of events. In the case of a webhook, this is the first tier (the actual event stor

Honestly it's not really "tech jobs." Even in software, there are some kinds of SW and development and timelines that are easy to do all or mostly remote. These tend to also be the kinds of work that, if not for language barr

You should describe how you are backpressuring internally while this is going on and also how you send an indicator to the receiver that they encountered a gap.

Well for starters, you should by-design not create an interface where individual discrete events are required to be delivered, without drops or strictly in order. Once you start down that path, you have to be able to answer what you do when
