More reasons to join @foss-backstage.de, March 16-17, 2026 in Berlin 👇 @janl.bsky.narrativ.es will recap our contributions through the @sovereign.tech’s Tech Resiliency program: 26.foss-backstage.de/session/2-5-... Join us on 16.03.2026 to learn what really keeps FOSS projects strong and safe 🔒

Jan Lehnardt from the Neighbourhoodie team will present “2.5 Years of STA Bug Resilience: how we helped a lot of FOSS” at FOSS Backstage this year. If you’re curious to learn more about what the Sovereign Tech Agency’s support has meant for the open source ecosystem, and what we’ve learned as the official implementation partner on the way, grab your ticket and join us there.

In this photograph, Jan Lehnardt smiles at us from a beach with lush greenery in the background. Jan has been contributing to open source projects for over 15 years and has put that breadth of knowledge to good use supporting projects including PHP, systemd, Log4j and more through the Tech Resilience program.

FOSS Backstage takes place in Berlin from 16-17 March 2026. You can join in person or online, so don’t miss out — grab your ticket and we’ll catch you there.

We’re presenting in the #FOSDEM @localfirst.bsky.social devroom in a few hours ✨ 📍 K.3.201 at 16:20 CET Keep an eye out for Alex or @janl.bsky.narrativ.es to check you’re in the right place. All the details: fosdem.org/2026/schedul... Catch the live stream: live.fosdem.org/watch/k3201

Meet Alex Feyerke, presenting today (1.2.2026) in the Local-First devroom. After detours through graphic design, studying media and literature at university and spending far too much time freelancing for ad agencies, Alex eventually co-founded Neighbourhoodie Software in Berlin, where he can finally do something useful: work on projects that genuinely improve people’s lives. He’s been designing and building offline-first apps since 2013, when he helped coin the term Offline First.

#Sharding is (another) thing that makes @couchdb.bsky.social such a scalable distributed database 📐 Few DBs make it automatic & transparent as CouchDB. We cover: - what shards are - how #CouchDB uses them - performance gains and trade-offs in our new post: neighbourhood.ie/blog/2025/10...

In this diagram of a database sharded using consistent hashing, the database is represented by a large rectangle. It contains small squares representing individual documents from A to G with an ellipses indicating continuation. Below this are 4 smaller rectangles, representing a q value of 4. Each smaller rectangle contains two documents, and the row is not alphabetical.

“All software benchmarks and claims of performance are *carefully crafted lies* and this write-up is *no different*.” This year we got to help a customer make huge gains 📈 Trying to #benchmark your own #Erlang or @couchdb.bsky.social project? Give it a read: neighbourhood.ie/blog/2025/03...

A graph that maps number of requests against time in seconds shows a staggering climb that peaks at 63.21K requests per second, before winding back down to a low baseline.

No, this graph wasn’t generated — this is an actual @couchdb.bsky.social customer’s performance on 60–70% CPU usage. Want to learn about the issues we found and solved to get there + how to benchmark your own CouchDB? Get all the details: neighbourhood.ie/blog/2025/03...
