@xata.io published this incredible blog post as a reaction to @planetscale.com benchmark the other day 🔥 It's beautiful to see the performance gain possible by utilizing our @simplyblock.io storage layer 💙

We're happy to join @xata.io and provide the storage foundation of their new #Postgres platform. Congratulations to the launch. Stronger. Together.

Xata uses an architecture that separates storage from compute. We’ve partnered with @simplyblock.io in order to integrate their distributed software-defined storage system in the Xata platform.  Simplyblock uses NVMe/TCP and SPDK for ultra-high performance and low latency.

I've always been interested in encryption. While I suck at math, it fascinated me. Just like other things way above my head ... e.g. string theory 😅🫣🤣 Encrypting data is super important. Thankfully DARE, or Date At Rest Encryption, provides us with a great set of guidelines and best practices. ⬇️

❓ Have you ever wondered what's the difference between data-at-rest and data-in-use? If yes, check out our latest blog post on Data At Rest Encryption (#DARE). Simplyblock provides data-at-rest encryption with a fully multi-tenant DARE feature set. www.simplyblock.io/blog/encrypt... #dataatrest
