Yes, that’s right.

I agree our sample may not be representative but we try to stay focused on the current and next crop of tpuf customers rather than the software industry as a whole. So far "CI proh…

Thanks, appreciate this! Jotted down some notes on our roadmap.

Yep, we're well aware of the selection bias effects in product feedback. As we grow we're thinking about how to make our product more accessible to small orgs / hobby projects. Int…

The exact CPU depends on the region/cloud provider, but this Granite Rapids CPU is representative: https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/products/sku/240777/...

So I can note this down on our roadmap, what's the root of your requirement here? Supporting local dev without internet (airplanes, coffee shops, etc.)? Unit test speed? Something …

My point is it's enough of a hassle to set up that I've yet to see that level of restriction in practice (across hundreds of CI systems).

> in many CI environments unit tests don't have network access, it's not purely a price consideration. I've never seen a hard block on network access (how do you install packages/p…

Often not a dealbreaker, actually! We can spin up new tpuf regions and procure dedicated interconnects to minimize latency to the on-prem network on request (and we have done this)…

For local dev + testing, we recommend just hitting the production turbopuffer service directly, but with a separate test org/API key: https://turbopuffer.com/docs/testing Works wel…

It’s hard to overstate the amount of service Ian provided to the Go community, and the programming community at large. In addition to gccgo, Ian wrote the gold linker, has blogged …

Yes, the three major open table formats are all quite similar. When AWS launched S3 Tables last month I wrote a blog post with my first impressions: https://meltware.com/2024/12/04…

> I'm sure they'd quickly argue it's wire compatibility, but even then it's a slippery slope and wire compatible is left open to however the person wants to interpret it. I actuall…

> I liked the author's write-up, but as an old programmer take umbrage at the idea that changing your parser in the middle of a program is "crazy", we used to do this... well maybe…

Yes! I’m actively working on it, in fact. We’re waiting on the next release of the Rust `object_store` crate, which will bring support for S3’s native conditional puts. If you want…

> Anecdotally I have had to do this in js a few times. I have never had to do this in Rust. Probably because Rust projects are likely to ship with fewer bugs. Still anecdotal, but …

Ah, I misunderstood! Yes, we may have invented that. I whipped up the cron job a few years back in response to concerns from our legal team. I’m not aware of any prior art for auto…

We haven't benchmarked TimescaleDB, so I can't say. Results tend to vary heavily by workload, too. What I can say is that the research at the heart of Materialize ( https://dl.acm.…

We did not originate the Business Source License (BSL/BUSL). It was originally developed by the folks behind MariaDB. Wikipedia has a good article that covers the history: https://…

Not to my knowledge. I believe TimescaleDB has their own incremental view maintenance engine.

Those updates are not retroactive. They apply on a go forward basis. Each day's changes become Apache 2.0 licensed on that day four years in the future. For example, v0.28 was rele…

(Materialize CTO here.) Partial materialization is indeed Noria's major contribution to dataflow technology, and it's impressive stuff. But I want to call out that there are a numb…
