I wanted to play a little bit and tried to do it without sharding, I’ll publish the blog post in the following weeks. This one is playing “easy mode”

- We are using Tinybird to handle autoscaling (instead of Prometheus)
- Scaling up ingestion in an OLAP workload
- Our opinionated way for compute-compute separation
- How we optimized ingestion with C++ (not Rust, sorry)
- Cutting costs with Karpenter

You need developers that care. I think they call it "being accountable".

Today we are releasing a new Tinybird, thanks to every single one spending your time on keeping this running.

Maintenance is not fun. You need people that make it fun, developers that write reports you actually want to read about the most boring fix.

Alerting is tricky and you need to fiddle for weeks until you nail it.

Every new customer makes the development team slower. Maybe it's just 1 hour a month, that's 0.01% of a developer's time in a 40 developer team. Seems low but it adds up.

That small issue you don't have time to fix is blocking someone.

Every single day there is a moment you remember there are thousands of requests coming into your system every second.

You spend 1 month chasing that bug impossible to reproduce.

You fail and you need to explain it to your customers that lose money because of you.

When you're in production, things fail, users complain, oncall alerts wake you up in the middle of the night, incidents happen. Those endless video conferences nobody leaves until they are 100% sure not a single client is still affected.

That's the benefit of having a data engineering team focused 100% on complex data-intensive applications.

And posts like this will keep coming, I'm a little bit tired of "developer marketing" with things that explain the surface and don't get into deep technical details
