IT IS TIME
The man looked up from his beach chair.
"Really? I've only just retired."
Death held up a timer. A single grain was about to fall. And yet... It didn't.
CURIOUS
Vetinari shrugged. "I've only just discovered drinks with little umbrellas. I'll let it fall in a bit"

It is rare to see developers truly understand their interactions with DBs in distributed systems. I now have a clear thread to point them too!

It is fantastic to see the observability improvements that are coming in 22.1 of cockroachDB!
This will massively help identify the root cause of slow transactions!
24 Mar 2022
#CockroachDB 22.1 will introduce a new facility for identifying active contention: `crdb_internal.cluster_locks`. This virtual table shows the locked rows, which txn is holding the lock, which txns are attempting to obtain the lock, and the duration of lock holding and waiting.

TLDR; Don't store files in a DB.
Good list of alternatives, I'd also add storing meta data about the files in a DB is a good idea though.

Just saw that the Spectator has dissed the wheel of time TV series.
It must be a good show then!

I love the approach in this thread on pick one thing you really care about and make it better.
I think about myself as pessimistic optimist
"Lots of things are crap, but we can make it better!"

Whenever evaluating new tech, work out the trade-offs!
New tech might fix known issues.
But will introduce brand new unknown problems that you didn't even know your current tech just handles.
