The bargaining and anger phases: - Use red/green testing - ALWAYS use red/green testing - Please remember to ALWAYS USE RED/GREEN testing - Pretty please remember to ALWAYS USE RED/GREEN testing! + Every time you don't use red/green testing, you will be charged $1B, and a puppy will be euthanized!

New post: why I’m not a fan of “zero-copy” Iceberg tables for Apache Kafka. From a systems design view, it trades storage savings for coupling and complexity. Sometimes, duplication is cheaper than coupling. jack-vanlightly.com/blog/2025/10...

Why I’m not a fan of zero-copy Apache Kafka-Apache Iceberg — Jack Vanlightly
Over the past few months, I’ve seen a growing number of posts on social media promoting the idea of a “zero-copy” integration between Apache Kafka and Apache Iceberg. The idea is that Kafka topics cou...

Cloudflare is doing a lot of interesting work (R2 object store, cloudflare workers, pay-per-crawl for LLMs). They annouced Cap'n Web, a new RPC system that works on all JS runtimes. One of its biggest innovations over REST/GraphQL is "promise pipelining" blog.cloudflare.com/capnweb-java...

Cap'n Web: A new RPC system for browsers and web servers
Cap'n Web is a new open source, JavaScript-native RPC protocol for use in browsers and web servers. It provides the expressive power of Cap'n Proto, but with no schemas and no boilerplate.

good post on Kakfa + Iceberg from the WarpStream folks: www.warpstream.com/blog/the-cas... Most implementations gloss over the difficulties in iceberg table maintenance, and the only solution that the marketplace seems to have is Spark. Great if your team has Spark already, but painful otherwise.

The Case for an Iceberg-Native Database: Why Spark Jobs and Zero-Copy Kafka Won’t Cut It
We launched a new product called WarpStream Tableflow that is the easiest, cheapest, and most flexible way to convert Kafka topic data into Iceberg tables with low latency, and keep them compacted.

Submitted a talk to Current '25 New Orleans (in October): "The Rise of Object Store Architectures: Understanding SlateDB" SlateDB is an object-store backed LSM tree storage engine and is a building block for cloud native architectures. It's a useful lens for understanding the architectural shift.

Coordinated Progress – Part 1 – Seeing the System: The Graph — Jack Vanlightly

An increasingly common conflict I am hearing: "Our company evaluated using {advanced AI coding product}. But we found it too expensive compared to GitHub Copilot. So we are staying on Copilot and our platform team is building our own custom AI tools on top of open source"
