Video of the One Billion Row Challenge stream is now up at youtu.be/tCY7p6dVAGE! We got down to 1.2s without any external dependencies, and it was a fun journey down lots of performance rabbit holes (only some of which panned out 😅). It is over 10h, but hopefully the chapters in the video help!

Sometimes an interface is so ubiquitous that performance limitations inherent to its design are just accepted. This has been our experience with Parquet. We switched to Vortex which aligned much better with our needs and saw a 70% performance improvement across the board. Read more below 👇

one of my favorite ways to explain the value of RSC is to frame it as a React version of the BFF (“backend for frontend”) pattern. it doesn’t have anything to do with “server rendering”, SEO, or such. i think of it more as an alternative to (or a layer above) traditional JSON APIs. like BFF.
