I made a free little tool to help you which if your computer's microphones are best. Record 20 seconds of audio and get an immediate analysis of all the input devices. Your recordings never leave your computer!

The 2nd edition of Designing Data-Intensive Applications, by @martinkl and me, is finished and sent to the printers! Ebooks available next week, and print books in 3–4 weeks. Sigh of relief. 😅 (BTW, this is a good opportunity to support your favourite local bookshop!)

🐘 For CDC users, one of the most exciting features in #Postgres version 16 is the support for logical replication from stand-by servers (a.k.a. read replicas). I wrote a two-part series about this: Part 1⃣ 👉 dcbl.link/logical-replicatio… Part 2⃣ 👉 dcbl.link/logical-replicatio… 1/4

Ok, so LLMs are a Thing. How do they work? Embeddings. WTF are embeddings? I spent a year doing a deep dive. But when I was researching, I couldn't find anything that explained them in business, engineering, AND math contexts. So I wrote a thing.🚀 vickiboykis.com/what_are_emb…

These changes, particularly Contracts and Access, are exactly what dbt is missing and will replace a bunch of internal tooling we wrote to make it function this way.
Newest post: The next big step forwards for analytics engineering. Would love to hear your thoughts. getdbt.com/blog/analytics-en…
