See you out there today! #NoKings

Almost like we founded the entire country on opposing this exact sentence.

I will be watching this! I don't care!

People who use Elasticsearch fall into two camps: those who know it shouldn’t be used as a source of truth, and those who haven’t thought it through… Seriously though, if you use Elastic as a database, we’d love to hear about it. www.paradedb.com/blog/elastic... #elasticsearch #database #search

In @nytopinion.nytimes.com “Tell me this is not what authoritarianism looks and sounds like,” our columnist Ezra Klein writes. “And so the question is: What are Democrats going to do about it? What can they do about it?”

We’ve worked with 50+ companies syncing Postgres with non-Postgres sinks like Elasticsearch. Our latest post is a deep dive into how Postgres → Postgres differs from Postgres → anything else. www.paradedb.com/blog/etl_vs_...

I hate logs without context. Postgres ERRORs seemed like that to me. But while on call last week I learned about the backtrace_functions GUC to get stack traces for ERRORs so I wrote a short blog post on how to use this GUC! www.enterprisedb.com/blog/stack-t...

ParadeDB has raised a $12M Series A to bring Elasticsearch workloads to Postgres. Read it on TechCrunch: techcrunch.com/2025/07/15/p...

I continue to love working on these problems with these people! We have a great foundation in Postgres and Tantivy, and exciting projects to make both search and analytics faster and easier for our users. Congratulations @philippemnoel.bsky.social and Ming!

1/5. @paradedb.bsky.social has raised a $12M Series A to bring Elasticsearch workloads to Postgres. 🧵

We know what we have to do to save our city from Andrew Cuomo. We're cross endorsing 🤝 @bradlander.bsky.social

If that’s what they do to a US Senator with a question, imagine what they do to farm workers, day laborers, cooks, and the other nonviolent immigrants they are targeting in California and across the country. Or any American that dares to speak up. I will not stop fighting to demand accountability.

Really excited about what OrioleDB are doing: see previous posts on their blog. One thing that this post doesn't capture though is that for some index types (including GIN), a "bridge" might be desirable to avoid filling your index with large string primary keys. www.orioledb.com/blog/orioled...

Our van broke down in Roswell so naturally we wrote a song about the 1947 UFO incident while we were stranded there. Now our song is featured in the latest episode of the Via Podcast. It’s a fun trip through UFO lore and bizarre desert mysteries. Tune in here: mwg.aaa.com/via/podcast/...

Just under two weeks in, and I am so happy to be at @paradedb.bsky.social: excellent team, great platform, exciting problems, and an urgent customer need. Love it!

1/5. I'm really excited to announce that @paradedb.bsky.social is now available on @neon.tech. Fast full-text search, fast analytics, serverless, 100% Postgres🤯! A story... 🧵

Whether it's the Navajo code talkers helping to defeat the Nazis or it's Nazis removing all mention of the Navajo code talkers from the US military's website, the conflict between Nazis and Navajo code talkers has continued for over 80 years.

Next week I'll start at @paradedb.bsky.social, where they've built a strongly consistent, lightning fast, Elastic-quality search extension for Postgres. Very excited about the team and all that they've accomplished: eager to get started!

Had been planning to leave Shiga Kogen this morning, but the storm came early!

Wrote up something about Techdirt's recent coverage, and why (whether we like it or not) we need to be a "democracy blog" now, rather than just a "tech" blog (not that we've ever been just a tech blog). This story is *the* story and it impacts everything else. www.techdirt.com/2025/03/04/w...

Hey folks! I'll be looking for a new job later this month. I'm looking to work as a systems programmer in databases or data systems, either remotely or in-person in SF. I've previously worked on a handful of distributed databases in the areas of sharding, transactional APIs, and replication.

HYTRADBOI was lots of fun: great talks at the intersection of programming languages and databases. I gave a lightning talk about the ideas behind reboot.dev. In short: strong consistency is back in DBs, but there is more work to do to bring it into applications! www.hytradboi.com/2025/38d3ed5...

HYTRADBOI is tomorrow! Feb 28 0900 PDT. The chat will run for days, so it's worth joining even if you can't make the early hours. Bring all your friends too! Re-skeet, share on your favorite forum, put flyers under your neighbours doors etc. See you tomorrow! www.hytradboi.com/2025/#tickets

Secretary of Defense Hegseth says he doesn’t know if Russia invaded Ukraine. This you?

This is how our government has been corrupted:  1) Donors give huge sums to elect politicians to office.  2) Elected officials rewrite the rules in the donors' favor.  3) Donors make a huge profit.  4) Repeat. For the sake of democracy, we must get Big Money out of politics.

Kamala was right. And it only took him less than 30 days to roll over for Putin.
