Hmm. Strange. DM me details. Haven’t heard of anything like that.

What we found with RPCN (redpanda connect)/old benthos is that most systems are very slow and only cpu intensive things require manual CPU instruction optimizations like the snowfl…

It is not FUD. It is deterministic. Reproducible on your laptop. Out of all the banks I work with only a handful of use cases use rf=5. Defaults matter, because most people do not …

Redpanda cloud doesn’t limit tput. Most ppl get a bigger discount at high volumes. We have customers in 10s of GB/s. Confluent has those volumes too.

incorrect. the intend is to have it be a project that is thriving, see the last 2 additional partnerships that landed as apach2 connectors: https://redpanda.com/blog/redpanda-conne…

we trippled the team. added 3 meaningful connectors for CDC and zero-trust as well multi-lang SDK and kept 99% of the connectors available for ppl to make money on... as well as th…

you may have not read the blog post i wrote. the engine remains MIT because we had customers that had embedded this in their app and it made sense to keep that. it is 100% about no…

let's call it what it is. warp never reached out. they do not want to have the name "redpanda" in their UI. that's all. They can* make money on 223 out of 225 connectors. More over…

Hey jannesan this is untrue. We pay for ZoomInfo which gives us emails on search engines results. No one is manually filtering on your GitHub. But it should have a link to unsubscr…

500MB for such a complete product is tiny! The largest CDN in the world ships 10GB+ binaries. 1G is common for large code bases if you link things statically. The bloat tends to co…

Curious as to how the code base evolved after forking from clickhouse

that's a littlebit of a stretch. when you say "no shortage" - outside of redpanda what product exists that actually compete in all deployment modes? it's a misconception that redpa…

def. that should be the case, we have iot companies pushing us on a single pthread a a few megs of ram.

this seems truthy but isn't in practice. a lot of work, my perf optimization team @ redpanda does (yes we have a full team chasing tail latencies) is spent on CPU optimization, deb…

That benchmark was comparing apples to oranges. Redpanda fsynced to disk and kafka saved to memory with deferred writes. Here is a response https://redpanda.com/blog/why-fsync-is-n…

what makes you think that we haven't tested this? seastar's io engine is defaulted to io-uring... there are about 10 things here to comment on. on optimized kernels we disable bloc…

exactly. you improve latency and throughput at the same time. is kinda cool. by delaying the reponses just a small bit you get huge benefits

Comment #35965198
it tends to be true. we do things at the application tier to minimize these things. for example, assume you have to write A, B, C ... in syscalls it would be write( A ), flush() wr…

That’s right. Raft uses sync writes which is what redpanda uses. Complexity and industrial level reference impls are crucial

Right. But that line of thinking gets you to a place where one is like “how does anything work” haha. In general this was a response to Confluent attempting to dismiss fsync() as a…
