   A go-to architecture topic of mine for backend engineer interviews is to design a webhook system (the push side). I’ve gotten a lot of mileage out of it because depending on the person’s experience dealing with a running production system,

   I've been thinking about doing office hours recently and this is just the motivation I needed to set it up! So thank you OP. Paranoid me is a little nervous about putting up a scheduling link publicly, but here goes: I work on Typesens

   I see some Google Cloud folks in the comments, so question for you, if you're able to share: There seems to be a general fear about Google potentially killing off a product, based on recent history [1]. Now I know most of these are on

   Thanks for sharing your podcast! Just subscribed. To add yet another data point, we use Clickhouse as well for centralized logging for the SaaS version of our open source product, and can't imagine what we would have done without it.

   I’m sad/surprised that a project with almost 8K stars on GitHub is dead. Does anyone know why they decided to not build/maintain it anymore?

   Thought it was interesting that Netlify has filed a trademark application for "Jamstack", along with a music gear company.

    > The niche we choose was product companies from 20 to 200 people. This is still pretty broad for it to be a niche IMO.

    Oh hey, Tint (up) was the first thing that came to my mind as well! Now I’m curious too.

    At least with RDBMS, the database engine takes care of the actual data movement for you, after you issue a SQL command. With NoSQL, when you need to update your document format, you now need to handle the data migration yourself.

    I wish this existed years ago when I had to figure out how to programmatically send out calendar invites. There were some quirks with how Outlook handled them vs Google Calendar and it was a time-consuming trial-and-error process. Congrats

    Yup, that's the overhead I'm referring to. With a platform team at play, you now have an extra dependency for all other teams - both technical and communication-wise - and that adds some friction. The question is, are the efficien

    From my past experience, micro-frontends were awesome and liberating... in the beginning. Every team gets their own deploy pipeline and can deploy changes independent of each other, with their own error boundaries - awesome! Over time thoug

    As an introvert and an engineer it’s definitely not the easiest for me to talk about something I’m working on openly. So I do cringe every time I mention Typesense in contexts like this thread. But it seems like every time I mention it, new

    OP - congratulations on shipping! WASM-powered search caught my eye. Looks like the search index is downloaded and used locally in the browser, so this is as fast as search can get. One trade-off though is that you're limited to relati

    Also, in case you haven’t already seen this, I was looking at Spreedly several years ago: https://www.spreedly.com/ The thing that made them untenable for our use case is that they charge on a per transaction basis. At scal
