Ask HN: What Are You Working On? (Nov 2025
Porting LevelDB[1] to Seastar[2], for internal metadata storage in Redpanda[3]. Before you ask why can’t something off the shelf be used, seastar has unique constraints around its runtime and its memory allocator that means we can’t reuse an existing library.

Kafka is Fast – I'll use Postgres
This sounded interesting to me, and it looks like the plan is to make Redpanda open-source at some point in the future, but there's no timeline: https://github.com/redpanda-data/redpanda/tree/dev/licenses

Bazel and Glibc Versions
Yeah I built a custom sysroot for Redpanda (Bazel/C++/Distributed Kafka) using a really simple docker image: https://github.com/redpanda-data/redpanda/blob/dev/bazel/too...
We also have an dockerfile for clang/LLVM in that repo so the whole thing is hermetic. It’s a bit of shame Bazel doesn’t come with stronger options/defaults here, because I feel like I want to reproduce this same toolchain on every C++ project with Bazel

Choosing Between a Streaming Database and a Stream Processing Framework in Python
Stream-processing platforms such as Apache Kafka, Apache Pulsar, or Redpanda are specifically engineered to foster event-driven communication in a distributed system and they can be a great choice for developing loosely coupled applications. Stream processing platforms analyze data in motion, offering near-zero latency advantages. For example, consider an alert system for monitoring factory equipment. If a machine's temperature exceeds a certain threshold, a streaming platform can instantly trigger an alert and engineers do timely maintenance.

The best WebAssembly runtime may be no runtime at all
Yeah it’s just the stack switching itself that is a handful of cycles, but there is not much more overhead for the full VM switch if you structure your embedding the right way. Code the code is source available if you want to peek at it!
