A Database for 2022
(Ignoring the fact this may be an April fools joke.)
> We’re going to put everything in a single file on disk again.
For most small scale projects I'm just reading and writing lines to a file on disk. Sure, I could over-engineer some database, or I could get a minimal viable project off of the ground and worry about scaling later. Most projects run into issues long before scalability.
I found myself recently wanting a lightweight key-value store for random structures. For this purpose, I created a toy single-file key-value store [1] in less than 256 lines of C. It's not quite ready for prime time, but it's incredibly easy to use.

Is it bad to create a publicly accessible RDS database for my serverless web app?
For example, when you create a serverless postgres database with a platform like CockroachDB or Neon, you effectively get a connection string with a strong password. Anyone can connect to your database from anywhere so long as they have the right connection string. There are no security settings in these services to change this behavior.

Linux surpasses the Mac among Steam gamers
> Yes you can on the android emulator. The biggest issue is compu arch in that case.
I can also download VirtualBox and run all Windows programs, that would mean that all Windows apps are Linux apps?

You can't statically link glibc: https://github.com/cockroachdb/cockroach/issues/3392
glibc can break stuff: https://www.gamingonlinux.com/2022/08/valve-dev-understandab...
I had binaries break because the newer version if openssl was put under a slightly different name.

How do small SaaS's handle databases?
Also, worth noting, if you're already using PostgreSQL (or plan to) you might want to take a look at https://www.cockroachlabs.com/ they have a free tier too and CockroachDB has a PostgreSQL interface.

Go Dependency management in large company projects - How do you do it?
I know that some projects like cockroach use custom build tools like bazel. But we actually really like to use to be able to build our projects simply with the great go toolchain and don't really aim to dive deep into custom build solutions.

Eli5: Why do companies use the products of Oracle to store information, when they can just use spreadsheets like Excel, or make their own spreadsheet software?
CockroachDB is designed to be globally distributed. It has to handle causality when resolving collisions. It has to account for having a write operation to arrive after another and still have time priority because it was sent out a few milliseconds earlier.

rage - a minimalistic load testing tool
Cockroachdb created a go runtime patch which measures the Grunning time of a goroutine: https://github.com/cockroachdb/cockroach/pull/82356. It doesn't entirely solve the problem though.

Data Engineering Tools in Go
Our entire backend is written in Go. We've built a platform that allows other companies to offer automatic data syncing to their customers' data warehouses. Go works great for building distributed systems like this (see K8s). We're not the only ones in the space building data intensive applications with Go. Pachyderm, Pinecone, Cockroach Labs and are all also doing it. We've been quite happy with how Go has worked for us.
