I just published a deep technical dive on Fluid Storage, our new disaggregated block storage layer for Postgres. It comes from years of running one of the largest managed Postgres fleets in the world (outside of the hyperscalers), serving thousands of customers and seeing the good, bad, and ugly of EBS. Fluid Storage is our rethink of what Postgres storage should look like in the cloud era: high performance, elastic scaling, fast forks and zero-copy snapshots, and resource efficiency with thin provisioning. Built to serve the modern needs of developers and applications, and the emerging needs of agents. Read about the architecture 👇

Discussed DRY with a work colleague today and I finally found the words I wanted to say: it's fine to consider removing duplication once it exists, but preventing it from occurring altogether often needlessly complicates. There's great info to be gleaned from similar code.
