I thought my next post would be something different, but this project ended up being enjoyable enough that it deserved a write up.

I may not be using Java often right now, but talking about the latest features is always worthwhile, and doing so in the local Java User Group is a bonus www.linkedin.com/feed/update/...

Been testing GitHub Copilot’s new coding agent for a few days. Integration with Issues, PRs, Actions, Codespaces, and the mobile app is impressive. Still prefer CLI-based code agents, the review/feedback loop is much faster

Set up my G Pro with gpro-led so the first letter of each of my kids’ names glows in their favorite color. They noticed instantly and loved it

Neat trick: use watchexec to detect commits in your local repo and get notified when your code agent (running in a container) finishes its work.

I've created my first Firefox plugin that lets me share the current tab to @frontpage.fyi with minimal effort (mobile and desktop).
It's also the first time I use @atprotocol.dev and it's as cool as it seems.
The repo is available in Github but also in @tangled.org:

What a special moment to speak at Current one last time about New Relic's object storage adoption for data streaming. Looking back at four years of performance improvements has been incredible, and I'm amazed by how much I've learned!

It took me ages to finish Database Internals. Very tough read, I almost give up a couple of times. It covers way too much for a 300 pages book. Yet, it's great to have a book on the topic and I appreciate all those links to papers and references to OSS systems

It's surprising Flink doesn't have support for Flatbuffers yet, it seems like a potential good candidate for great performance

I was working on a serialisation formats benchmark this week and surprised how efficient Flatbuffers is.
Trying to understand it, I found this article about Zero-Copy serialisation. I was already aware of Cap'n Proto but I didn't know Flatbuffers also use it.

AWS MSK and Confluent Cloud support? Check! In combination with the Java Agent Kafka monitoring, it's like peanut butter and jelly for your streaming stack. Battle-tested internally and ready to roll. More integrations incoming, and hopefully a little squirrel 🐿️ at some point

I'm one of those annoying engineers always pushing to make our internal tooling available for customers. It has been a long journey but I'm very proud of New Relic Queues & Streams finally being released!

"We utilize the ‘island model’ for deploying our Flink jobs, where all dependencies for a given application reside within a single region"
After 4 years using this approach, it's my default choice nowadays (but isolating at the AZ level instead of region).

Iceberg FileIO is very interesting to optimize Object Storage reads/writes. I'm working on similar optimizations but the edge cases are tricky. I wonder if someone has already used it without Iceberg for similar use cases

Built a tool using GraalVM for native compilation and Langchain4j with Ollama/Mistral to parse command outputs and generate readable summaries. When tests fail, it pipes the processed data back to NeoVim/Copilot to suggest fixes.
And yes, I'm doing it because it's fun. No regrets.
