Not an ad, just a happy user. You can check my profile. I run another startup not affiliated with Mongo.

It’s just me or there are others who keep seeing these updates and think mongodb had all of this years ago?

Seriously so happy to be running our production stack on mongo.

Upvoted for the same reason. We would not be able to run our workloads without Jemalloc. Kudos to this awesome piece of software.

We do. MCP works on top of it.

I say MCP is just lightweight layer on top of REST and as long as it works for end users I don’t see any reason not to adopt it.

This. We also thought MCP was useless, but now the workflows by ChatGPT and Claude are so good; it's as good as installing an app from the App Store. We launched MCP for our SaaS and immediately found users using it.

API and MCP all are just buzzwords for customers. What they care about is whether they can get tasks done in our SaaS using Claude or ChatGPT. If that happens, it's a success.

What a downgrade. We were riding leopards back then!

Streaming video is still hard to do for a developer today and we are solving that with scalable and cheap infra for streaming.

This change finally helped our company move to typescript.

Just converted many of services to TS and some are WIP. It’s a big win.

We use libvips as well sir. We can't overstate how much we benefit from your work!

We regularly donate to project via open collective. We frankly did not see here due to FB involvement I think.

Jason, here is a story about how much your work impacts us. We run a decently sized company that processes hundreds of millions of images/videos per day. When we first started about 5 years ago, we spent countless hours debugging issues related to memory fragmentation.

One fine day, we discovered Jemalloc and put it in our service, which was causing a lot of memory fragmentation. We did not think that those 2 lines of changes in Dockerfile were going to fix all of our woes, but we were pleasantly surprised. Every single issue went away.

Today, our multi-million dollar revenue company is using your memory allocator on every single service and on every single Dockerfile.

Thank you! From the bottom of our hearts!

For website hosting, it's okay but not great. We encountered issues when we tried to cache a lot of images. Their CDN storage seems really low compared to Cloudflare and Cloudfront. It results in a really bad hit ratio the moment we try to deliver a lot of images.
