We’re excited to share this episode of Software Huddle featuring our founder, Johann Schleier-Smith, as he shares insights from co-founding Tagged, a platform that scaled to millions of users before cloud computing was mainstream. With no AWS or Kubernetes to lean on, scaling meant overcoming massive engineering hurdles on bare-metal infrastructure. Johann also dives into the parallels between those early challenges and today’s Generative AI. He explains how Crystal DBA uses AI to bring intelligent automation to PostgreSQL databases—eliminating routine tasks and empowering teams to manage databases with unmatched ease and precision. Featuring: Sean Falconer | Alex DeBrie Listen here 👉 https://lnkd.in/gNb5aQN8 #AI #PostgreSQL #DatabaseOptimization #GenerativeAI #CrystalDBA

🚀 KubeCon 2024 Recap Last week, we introduced CrystalDB, our AI-powered PostgreSQL expert, at KubeCon—and the feedback was incredible. Here’s what we heard from attendees about managing databases: 💡 Teams are managing PostgreSQL and multi-database environments without a dedicated DBA, creating knowledge gaps and operational challenges. 💡 AI-powered database expertise is a practical solution for democratizing access and enabling teams to address issues more efficiently. 💡 Actionable Observability and Monitoring are critical—teams need more than metrics; they need clear steps for query tuning, capacity planning, and optimization. With our new Slack and terminal interface, getting expert PostgreSQL insights is now as simple as asking a question 🔮 Read the full recap here 👉 https://lnkd.in/gQpQxyzS #KubeCon #PostgreSQL #DatabaseManagement #AI #CrystalDB

What questions do you have about your Postgres databases? 🔮 Stop by the CrystalDB booth at #kubecon24 to ask AutoDBA questions like: How healthy are my databases? What was the peak CPU utilization in the last 24 hours? What indexes do I need to add? How close to IOPS capacity is my database? #postgres #databasemanagement #ai

Last week on the All-In Podcast, Chamath Palihapitiya previewed an 𝗲𝘅𝗰𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗔𝗜 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘂𝗹𝘁 from his 8090 incubator: 𝟭𝟬𝟬% 𝗮𝗰𝗰𝘂𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘆 under highly demanding requirements. In summary: ➤ 8090 is working with a large (undisclosed) public company operating in a highly regulated industry. ➤ They are replacing a legacy software system with an AI-based solution. ➤ The processes are very complex due to the nature of the industry and the organization. ➤ The AI solution started at 80% accuracy and then got to 90%. Eventually, it reached 97%, 98%, ... 𝗻𝗼𝘄 𝗶𝘁’𝘀 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘀𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗹𝘆 𝗮𝘁 𝟭𝟬𝟬%. 💡 𝗞𝗲𝘆 𝘁𝗮𝗸𝗲𝗮𝘄𝗮𝘆: In Chamath’s words, “the art of the possible is that 𝘸𝘦𝘭𝘭-𝘤𝘳𝘢𝘧𝘵𝘦𝘥 𝘈𝘐 𝘴𝘰𝘧𝘵𝘸𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘪𝘴 𝘨𝘰𝘰𝘥 𝘢𝘴 𝘥𝘦𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘮𝘪𝘯𝘪𝘴𝘵𝘪𝘤 𝘴𝘰𝘧𝘵𝘸𝘢𝘳𝘦 … in production and at the level of a very highly-regulated public company.” 🎥 See: https://lnkd.in/gyWT_B4Z 💥 Should they still be called 8090 now that they have 100% accuracy?

Why are we still taking database maintenance outages in 2024? Calendly is planning what looks like a well managed database outage this weekend. It's a partial outage—bookings remain available—and it's only about 20 minutes. Customer impact from this kind of planned outage is basically zero, but business impact is not. The team gets pulled away from making the product better to work on keeping it running. I'm speculating on the specifics, but I know that for upgrades and migrations DBAs and engineers can spend weeks planning, then work through the night to make sure things go smoothly. AI agents will show us a better way.

Check out Johann Schleier-Smith's recap of HPTS 2024 and the trends shaping the future of databases! #postgres #databasemanagement #DBA #AutoDBA #AI #HPTS2024
HPTS 2024 was packed with great conversations about the future of systems and databases! A handful of highlights: ⚡️ AI needs are driving the hardware trends, which impacts everyone, regardless of whether they do AI. 🚀 Great innovation serverless platforms like DBOS. 🗂 Distributed PostgreSQL is becoming very robust with Aurora Limitless. 🤔 Lots of interest in LLMs, but applications aren’t quite there yet. #HPTS2024 #AI #Postgres #CrystalDB #TechTrends #Serverless #DistributedSystems #AutoDBA
