Measuring PostgreSQL read replica lag (hot standby) with synchronous_commit=remote_write. To estimate the write lag on replica when preparing to turn on pgDog query load balancing. At 1400-1500 write tps, single thread, 60min test run. Need to investigate these tail ends.

@jasminfluri.bsky.social that's my MongoD backup setup, or pretty much any database (details vary - in oracle just shutting down MRP). Special instance for backup on a dedicated storage. Storage takes immutable snaps.

Why car rental is so cheap in Croatia- damage gets invented and 500€ added to bill. What a tourist ripoff Avis. I do have a before video, all these scratches visible.

Please do not Americanise our news. Since when is ”a football pitch” a valid unit of measurement? It’s not even helpful if there are 600 of them.

Talking about DB monitoring for developers, this was my attempt, very simple dashboard for developers who do not care about details. Select your application (service on database side) and it will show you these basic details. I don't think it really worked, but at least I think it should be useful:)
