Hi there, I put in an application on Fri, May 26 and haven't heard back yet. Should I expect some communication about it?

This is my first time using it and I've been very pleased with it so far. It keeps it simple, has solid typing & schema building, and reminds me of LINQ. I'm also a thin models kind of person and the fact this is just an object without needing to build ORM classes is even better.

That is a fair point. A few centralized locations will likely be more than sufficient for most use cases.

And you can follow up D2 with D2: Lord of Distributed.

Thanks for the insight, I greatly appreciate it! This definitely is a reasonable idea for many things and I'm looking forward to seeing something similar to the sharding mechanism in the future.

I've only started to think about this and I'm thinking the hardest part will be dealing with cross-cutting concerns (in a non-auto sharded world manually creating multiple database) and trying to find a way to keep each database isolated without extra burden compared to using a hosted Postgres.

As an aside, that lan optimized house was a gaming dream. Hope your new house is as awesome.

The costs as a whole has me worried. I'm not sure it'll be better than just using https://turso.tech/pricing as that is already a free tier of 8GB and it might cost less overall the paid tier.

Is it a non-goal to be long term usable for larger databases? That would force the usage of something like turso your closest direct comparison as a possible migration strategy or relying on "Smart Placement" (which from my point of view reduces the benefit of global edge) for other serverless non-global dbs.

You can use drizzle-orm with Cloudflare and that is fully compatible.

I'm currently a Staff Engineer who has and can work the entire stack (architected most of the current frontend I work on, write APIs, can work with databases, have created CI pipelines, etc.), but I've been wanting to become some form of Engineering Manager. I've found mentoring and helping others extremely rewarding and I've been told my passion about technology inspires others. I'd be interested in a purely IC job only at a place that really proves it is worth changing from my current company and job. I'm more interested in either a pure manager position or a "50/50 position (the 50/50 cannot be a paid for one job, doing two jobs 100% & 100%).

Clean room design is about wholesale copying of code. If you copied the APIs and architecture and wrote the code differently there would be nothing wrong as SCOTUS just ruled.

I'm not here to agree with the who you responded to, but Google smuggling unblockable ads does 100% harm Brave. If part of Brave's selling point is the built-in ad blocking and in a hypothetical dystopian scenario the web were overrun with unblockable ads from WebBundles Brave would inevitably be harmed to some degree. I say that as someone who runs Brave on my phone primarily. I know I'd probably switch browsers if one of the primary reasons to use it were largely killed off.
