PostgreSQL, we've generally heard, is "good enough" for most intents and purposes.

We'd love to know what YOU think. What's stopped you from using #PostgreSQL in the past, and what solution did you choose instead? When have you opted for #Postgres where it turned out better than expected?

Finally bought my #TV for my living room, but instead of connecting it to the internet, I just put a mini pc there connected via HDMI.

Now I have a good screen for entertainment and also #privacy, it’s running #arch #linux and also #tor #snowflake via #docker, I’m happy to see that I’m helping hundreds of people daily to circumvent #censorship

"Anzahl der Benutzer, denen dein Snowflake in den letzten 24 Stunden geholfen hat, die Zensur zu umgehen: 5"

"Eine Browser-Erweiterung und ein einfacher Klick, um Menschen in Ländern mit zensiertem Internet zu helfen: Wer sich Snowflake in seinem Browser installiert, spendet nicht nur den protestierenden Menschen im Iran anonymes und unzensiertes Netz, sondern unterstützt alle, die sich gegen Zensur wehren müssen."
(...)
"Wer es installiert und nutzt, hilft damit nicht nur den Menschen im Iran, sondern allen Zensurbetroffenen. Denn auch Staaten wie China oder Belarus versuchen seit Jahren, die anonyme Internetnutzung zu blockieren."
(..)
"Snowflake kann in normalen Browsern installiert werden, etwa Chrome und Firefox. Die Browser-Erweiterung funktioniert auch auf dem Smartphone und ist mit einem einfachen Klick installiert."

Attended an event Brewing Data with Snowflake yesterday in Vilnius

Some of they key insights:

• Medallion Architecture (good or bad) is widespread.
• Snowflake and Databricks are clear competitors, targeting similar landscape.
• Open formats are trending: file format, table format, catalog, etc. - the more of them are open source, the better.
• Time travel feature is important, many users already used it for disaster recovery.
• Clear distinction of Storage from Compute (generic cloud approach).

Full text of one of the slides presented:

Strategic Architecture Outlook

• Agility & Future-Proofing - Open, portable data means you can adopt new technologies or switch platforms with minimal friction. No single vendor can hold your data hostage, so you can evolve vour architecture as needed.
• Multi-Cloud and Hybrid - An open data layer can span clouds and on-prem seamlessly. You avoid cloud vendor lock-in and leverage best-of-breed services on different clouds using the same data. This flexibility is key for resilience and optimization.
• Accelerating Innovation - When any team can access data with the tools of their choice, experimentation flourishes. Open data fosters Al/ML and cross-domain analytics since data isn't locked in silos - more innovation and insights from the same data.
• Vendor Leverage - Strategically, using open standards increases your leverage in vendor negotiations. You car opt in or out of services more freely, pushing vendors to provide value (since you're not irreversibly locked to them).

Wondering about Americans..

Snowflake macro — so many fine arms and branches on this one! Some symmetry, some asymmetry.

‘Insecure baby’: Trump draws ridicule after throwing fit over Colorado capitol portrait

My little horse must think it queer
To stop without a farmhouse near
Between the woods and frozen lake
The DARKEST evening of the year.

He gives his harness bells a shake
To ask if there is some mistake.
The only other sound’s the sweep
Of easy wind and #snowflake.

The woods are lovely and DARK, and #DeepState and #snowflakes will censor "#queer",
But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep…
