Scaling Open Source Databases

In this episode of Lessons from Production, I’m joined by Bhanu from TiDB and Nikhil from ElasticRun. We dive into what it really takes to run open source databases at scale, from architecture choices to reliability challenges, performance tuning, and real-world war stories. Whether you're managing distributed systems or just curious about how companies like ElasticRun use TiDB in production, there's a lot to learn from this one.

Shoutout to them for sponsoring this podcast. TiDB is an open-source, distributed SQL database built for real-time analytics on transactional data. It combines the best of both OLTP and OLAP, making it ideal for modern applications needing scale, speed, and flexibility. Want to be a guest on the show?

episode How to Achieve Cloud Cost Observability? artwork

How to Achieve Cloud Cost Observability?

Observability has been the buzzword across the stack, and businesses are toiling hard to achieve end-to-end visibility. While tech observability is fairly mature, cloud cost observability remains a missing link. In this episode of Lessons from Production, I spoke with Ananth [https://www.linkedin.com/in/ananthkumarks/] from Zoho [https://www.site24x7.com/?utm_source=WeMakeDevs&utm_medium=Youtube&utm_campaign=video] (sponsoring this episode) as we dive into what cloud cost observability really means, how it's different from tech-stack observability, best practices to achieve it, and real-world case studies that show how it can drive informed business decisions.

episode Designing AI That Gets Out of Your Way artwork

Designing AI That Gets Out of Your Way

Sanskar started his journey as an open source contributor in India, moved to London to work at Bloomberg, and recently quit his job to move to San Francisco and build his own AI startup, Amurex [https://www.amurex.ai]. In this episode, we talk about that journey; and what it takes to build an AI assistant that’s actually helpful, personal, and respectful of your space. We also chat about how to make AI more transparent, how to deal with messy data, and how they keep up with the fast-changing AI world. If you're curious about where AI is headed and how thoughtful tools get built, give this one a listen. Want to be a guest on the show?

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
