    We have been doing exactly this at CargoSense! We have gotten very far on just Postgres but as our BI and other analytics queries have gotten more complex and our scale of “busines…

    My wife works as an acoustical consultant at a global construction firm. The things you hear about factories, offices, and even hospitals is wild. Don’t get me wrong the constructi…

    The processing unit in my espresso machine died and was back ordered for 4 months, so raspberry pi to the rescue! Is that much processing power necessary? Not even a little, but he…

    Hey folks! Author of Absinthe here, feel free to ask me any questions.

    Hey vryotek, short version: stickiness is not necessary or important. It does use a websocket. To elaborate a bit, while each LiveView client is indeed associated with a long lived…

    That's very cool. Presumably as well this could be opt out if you had specific operations (perhaps from a write-only API) that don't need to wait to do further writes?

    In field metering situations you can have the timeline of each meter, when it records data points, and then you have the different timeline of the backend service, when it actually…

    ARM support for the JIT is a great addition for any of us on an M1! I believe on Intel the JIT was improving compile times by 30-50%.

    In practice we've seen it actually improve performance, because when fetching a data range for a device fewer actual rows have to be fetched from the disk. You pick certain columns…

    We've got a few billion rows in TSDB, pretty happy with it so far. Our workload fits the OLTP workflow more than OLAP though, we're processing / analyzing individual data points fr…

    I recently installed two MrCool DIY minisplits which worked out great. They come with pre-charged quick connect coolant lines so you can install them without the need for flushing …

    The most immediate impact I'm noticing locally is a ~25-30% improvement in compile times from the JIT, which is always a delightful find in any release. Synthetic benchmarks of the…

    And even if you're young, if you find yourself waking up at night with your heart racing, excessive snoring, etc, get it checked out. I got a CPAP machine at 20, and it's hard to o…

    Hey! We're looking to evaluate TimescaleDB for a logistics IoT scenario. Some of the data that enters our system comes from connected devices where recorded_at and inserted_at colu…

    Hey Erik, thanks for the post. In this vision, would this cluster of servers be reserved exclusively for timeseries data, or do you imagine it containing other ordinary tables as w…

    We've also felt the complexity of React and Apollo. It works best when, as others mentioned, you've got distinct teams that can focus on each part. In situations where that isn't t…

    Hey folks! Co-Author of Absinthe here, happy to answer any questions about it. The post here is good, although these days we recommend using Dataloader vs Absinthe.Ecto. Dataloader…

    These notes definitely seem like a useful reference, although I wish the author spoke more about what it was they were trying to accomplish. As someone with only a cursory familiar…
