It is a review on “On Writing Well” by William Zinsser - a classic guide to good writing. The book explains key principles: clarity, simplicity, and more. And you know what? Most of these principles are well-known to experienced developers andection.substack.com/p/clean-code...

I wrote a new blog post about analysing #ScyllaDB cluster capacity. ScyllaDB is a highly performant database that supports gradual degradation under load. The post might help in understanding its true capacity and reducing server costs to some extent. open.substack.com/pub/andectio...

Using these recommendations you can reduce your server cost without any latency degradation.

The tablets feature of ScyllaDB is very impressive. It simplifies maintenance and looks like a solid foundation for possible autoscaling www.scylladb.com/2024/12/03/e...

Many databases are moving their state to Object storage. What makes it feasible in 2024? More importantly, how would you design a database on top of an Object Storage? Just released next episode with @sirupsen.bsky.social on The GeekNarrator podcast. youtu.be/yfgD0Pa7o58 Please like, share etc

An unordered / non-exhaustive list of things that helped scale Bluesky's infra efficiently: + Exiting the cloud (colocation) + HAProxy w/many Node backends + Go w/clever code + ScyllaDB + SQLite w/per user databases + Redis w/many instances + AMD servers w/many cores + Purchasing bandwidth directly
