My father-in-law is a builder. It is difficult to get his attention in a magnificent space because he is lost in wonder. We were in a cathedral together years ago and I asked him what it would cost to build it today. I will never forget his answer… 'We can’t, we don’t know how to do it.'

I wrote about the modern data stack growing up (dbt @ $100m, fivetran @ $300m) in our latest newsletter - streamkap.substack.com/p/the-modern...

Would love to see if someone has looked at their real-world implications for their account. More details here on the changes - fivetran.com/docs/usage-b...

New Fivetran pricing is coming March 1. Has anyone done an analysis of your usage and found the impact? Before this was official I ran into a few companies where they had separate MAR rates by connector (slightly different from the new stuff), and it was a nightmare.

I would think so, but also open's up Snowflake opportunity to own more upstream processing. In enterprise I think they lose some of those workloads to Spark streaming in Databricks and Confluent.

@streamkap.bsky.social is, I believe, the only company that offers Kafka BYOC. Our model is application first rather than just providing underlying infrastructure like Redpanda/Confluent/Warpstream. Our customers love the approach. Expecting to see a lot more of this in 2025 🚀

Streaming opens up lower latency but it also power the increasing shift-left architectures. Reducing latency, cost and complexity by moving data processing to the stream to power operational and customer-facing processes.

This is the convergence of several huge trends. Cloud adoption with a desire to maintain data residency/ownership compounded by AI dramatically increasing the value of enterprise data. US companies won't send their data to DeepSeek servers in China but many would run the models in their own cloud.

Our customers @streamkap.bsky.social are loving our BYOC and it's driving much faster adoption in enterprise and generally in industries like finance and healthcare.

This follows a $220m acquisition of Warpstream by Confluent last year, which was anchored on the strength of Warpstream's BYOC offering.

BYOC streaming is so hot right now. Rumors swirling around a potential $1.5B acquisition of Redpanda by Snowflake.

I’m on the west side of the city and definitely had some very heavy rain and some gusts as the storm line came through.

Doubly so if you don’t want a huge one. We found a nice looking small one but it is not good at its job.

too true, some say it's because you actually land in France and have to taxi across Belgium into the Netherlands

Paul Dudley @paulfdudley.bsky.social · 27/11/2024
The funniest part about this route is that you spend more time taxiing at Schipol than you spend in the air on the way there.

I'm pretty sure it's because of the second point, it probably means the recruiter don't have an exclusive contract with the company so if people come in through another channel they lose out.

He was the first black player in the MLB so he is a meaningful historical figure not just a regular baseball player. Still acceptable for a brit not to know but I felt like I sold him short a bit there.

maybe that's not actually an old adage and it's just something someone said to me one time, but it stuck with me!

It turned out to be literally a problem with downloading it, I pushed him towards replit for a simpler more guided experience.

Replit 100 day python course looks good, probably way too much but imagine the first few 'days' would be a good starting place.
