100%-ed Shinobi AOV over the weekend, and ended it with a hitless take down of shadow master. 😎

It's telling you that there's still many more hours of work left for the day.

Accidentally pre-ordered a game 2hrs before availability, thinking it was out already. First ever, sigh.

🚀 We’re hiring an engineer to push Feldera’s automated testing platforms to the limit!

If you get excited about breaking real-world data-intensive systems, chaos testing, fault injection, differential testing and obsessing over performance, this job is for you.

I keep getting into conversations with engineers where I talk about how desperately I want my database to support materialized views with incremental updates and too often I get a blank stare in response.

so I wrote a new post about why you should care! sophiebits.com/2025/08/22/m...

Materialized views are obviously useful

At @feldera.bsky.social I've been doing a lot of performance work. I needed an easy way to watch the Prometheus metrics for a pipeline, so I wrote a simple tool for the Feldera CLI that shows the pipeline metrics. Here's the progress of a pipeline that runs in about 30 seconds.

You are a stream integrator!

Feldera @feldera.bsky.social · Aug 18

If you've written even the most basic compute program, you've likely already written programs that "integrate".

Integration is central to Feldera and its underlying theory of incremental compute. It is also all around us in the real world! 👇

Stream Integration

In this blog post we informally introduce one core streaming operation: integration. We show that integration is a simple, useful, and fundamental stream processing primitive, which is used not only…

A great blog post by the folks at Feldera on testing a strongly-consistent, core infrastructure system. We use many of the same ideas at ParadeDB (especially proptesting): www.feldera.com/blog/correct...

Correctness at Feldera

In this blog post, we briefly describe our efforts and development processes that ensure Feldera's engine is correct.

Sitting down to game has looked like this for the last 2 months:
* Check out the PSN store
* Look at endless wall of slop
* Lament the lack of good games
* Not game.

(Excited for Shinobi AOV end of this month though)

Any offerings that are Postgres compatible, HA and can survive disk/node failures without losing data? And by postgres compatible I mean wire format, SQL engine and features like LISTEN/NOTIFY.
