I want to read a few papers over the holidays. What were the most interesting distributed systems or database papers you read this year? 👀

Moderating this wrap up session was such a fun and insightful experience - thank you @hasgeek.com for the opportunity 😁

Finally got Merge Iterators working 🫡 LSM Tree Compaction largely relies on merge iterators, which take in multiple SSTables and give you a new SSTable which doesn't have any old copies of data present. See how we went from 7 to 3 records - both are the exact same state!

Immutability has the added benefit of simplifying WALs; in an LSM Tree, your logical log and your physical log are the same! see: Database Internals, page 91

This is an awesome watch - www.youtube.com/watch?v=eYJA... Incremental view maintenance is such an interesting problem. The composition proof in the video blew my mind! This is some really awesome work by all the authors and contributors @feldera.bsky.social.

Just graduated yesterday! I've been tinkering, breaking, and fixing things since I was a child, but today, I'm officially an Engineer - with a Bachelor of Technology in Computer Science and Engineering. It's a strange, new feeling, and a strange, new world - I'm excited to see where this goes!

One of my favorite things to do is to start typing out the lyrics to a song on a WhatsApp group. When someone joins in, it's like we're singing that song together :)

Today, we just wrapped up an informative+awesome talk by @alexgarcia.xyz on sqlite-vec at the Bengaluru Systems Meetup. It covered SQLite extensions, vector search, shadow tables (very cool!), hybrid search with rank fusion, binary/scalar quantization Recording (Ty Alex!) - youtu.be/GpTOsTxuLLA

So far: ☑️ working point reads + writes (in-mem + disk) ☑️ JSON SSTables ☑️ BTreeMap memtables ☑️ working flush path (w/memtable swap) ☑️ Single-level Tree Can't wait to implement the compaction codepath ⚡all the code is in a single file so far.

Make art that you think is fuckin sick as hell. Make the shit you never thought you could that you always wanted to see. Beat your insecurity to death and fight to become your own favorite artist.

Will be building an LSM tree from scratch this month! Giving myself a deadline really helped cut out on the overthinking/over-planning that happens with more ambitious projects.
