April was a month of momentum. The team shipped across every layer of the stack: core engine performance, connector resilience, more SQL functions, and the OSS community showed up in a big way. Read the full newsletter here: www.linkedin.com/pulse/april-...

Commit messages are important, why doesn't GitHub allow commenting on them in PRs?

What happens when a SQL table has 700+ nullable columns? At first glance: nothing unusual. But when that table turns into a Rust struct with hundreds of optional fields, something odd happens. The data looks small in memory but it yet suddenly takes twice the space on disk.

Last month, we announced S3 support for our pipelines. Today, we're making it real: You can now try it out directly in the online sandbox. No SQL changes are needed—tweak a bit of JSON in your pipeline settings, and you're set. www.feldera.com/blog/leverag...

Have you heard of fine-grained authorization (FGA)? It uses a lot of compute, which makes it expensive. But with Feldera, you can implement it more cheaply using incremental computation. See the full story in the @feldera.bsky.social blog at: www.feldera.com/blog/fine-gr...
