In case you missed it when the episode dropped, I was recently on the Crossword podcast. I finally had a chance to write a bit about our conversations on my site. We covered a lot of ground, including the concept of active versus passive contribution, how to find the appropriate balance between those two groups, the importance of being prepared when new contributors show up, and the nuance between a do-ocracy and a meritocracy. I'd love to hear your thoughts after you listen! https://lnkd.in/evmRqabE

In a new blog post, Marc Bowes looks at how updates work in Aurora DSQL, and what it means for scalable schema design. Read it here: https://lnkd.in/gmGEK8Dv A couple take-aways for application builders: - You mostly don't have to worry about hot read keys in DSQL, even in read-write transactions. DSQL can scale out per-key read throughput, and the design requires no co-ordination between transactions reading the same key. (Thank you, MVCC and Time Sync!) - Scalable applications do need to avoid high-contention write keys when doing updates. Writes need to be coordinated and ordered (to implement the I in ACID), which limits per-key throughput. - Most applications can avoid hot write keys with the right schema design. Most applications have already been written this way, because high-contention keys perform poorly on relational databases of all kinds.

🚀 Evil Martians helped Whop cut their Rails test suite and CI time in half. By profiling tests, reducing logging overhead, optimising FactoryBot usage, and fixing flaky tests, they achieved: ⚡ Single-process tests: ~25 min → ~12 min 🛠️ CI with 16 workers: ~4 min → ~2 min Read the full breakdown here: 👉 https://lnkd.in/em3f5c-9
