1/5. @paradedb has raised a $12M Series A to bring Elasticsearch workloads to Postgres. 🧵 techcrunch.com/2025/07/15/pa…

I'm excited to see Crunchy's DWH work finally come to the open source. Warehousing on Postgres is still a pain point and Craig, Marco & co have built something many did not think was possible.

We reduced compute prices by 25%. Generally it’s impossible to deliver better price performance than @neondatabase without separation of storage and compute. Here is why:

Excellent news and work by an amazing team that's continually pushing to deliver a better developer experience.

This morning, I found myself re-reading this article by The Honest Broker on evaluating character. If you haven't read it, I highly recommend you do. It's an incredibly distilled set of principles that have benefited me immensely in life. honest-broker.com/p/my-8-bes…

I saw this on LinkedIn and it was just too accurate to not share here. Postgres powers so much of the world's software yet the core team is a couple dozen people. The ecosystem around it is also surprisingly small for how far reaching it is.

What's the best replacement for Clearbit now that it got purchased by HubSpot?

The conclusions are not all 100% right here, but I was quite surprised to see us be picked up by Tinybird. Must be doing something right tinybird.co/blog/clickhouse-…

Learning SEO optimization is kinda fun

More v2 API ❤️ docs.paradedb.com/v2/indexin…

A little bit of lexical search, a little bit of semantic search. But how do you combine them? We wrote the Missing Manual for Hybrid Search in Postgres so you don't need to work it out yourself. paradedb.com/blog/hybrid-sea…

I'm at PGConf EU in Riga this week. If you're around, come say hi!

Starlink wifi is an order of magnitude better than any other plane wifi I've used. Just wow. Basically feels like home wifi.

This is an exciting news. The ParadeDB team is actively contributing to Tantivy and working closely with the core team. We actively want and welcome more incredible engineers and companies like @tursodatabase to join the project.

As of v0.19.0, running ParadeDB as a logical replica is moving to the community version. We hope this will smooth out integration for our open source community :)

BTW if anyone wants a good intro to database storage / Log structured storage (aka LSM trees), the @CMUDB lecture this fall is a good one: piped.video/watch?v=2_sTdS4h…

I've become disgustingly knowledgeable at Kubernetes and I hate it

I'm interested in hiring an "SEO consultant" to come in, evaluate our SEO posture and make a list of recommendations for what to improve next. Got anyone to recommend?

Elasticsearch optimizes for search at scale but isn't transactional; Postgres optimizes for correctness but isn't great at searching. ParadeDB builds on Postgres to give you real-time search with ACID guarantees. Why would you want that? Read on ... paradedb.com/blog/elasticsea…

We're still working on the final details, but the query part of our v2 API dropped a while ago. Here's an example of a proximity search 👀

I get asked a lot what it was like to work with Steve Jobs. Probably the biggest thing I learned is that there is no "good enough" when it comes to the basics: communicating, motivating, and most importantly, thinking. Steve was obsessed with the quality of his own thinking. He was able to generate a mental map of a problem space faster and more deftly than anyone I've known because he worked at it. Over the course of a career, that skill compounds more than anything else. Thanks for the conversation @jaltma
