Many of the most exciting experiences we’re beginning to rely on every day are powered by AI; whether it’s conversational assistants, personalized recommendations or code generation, these experiences are powered by inference systems and intelligent agents. Behind the scenes, developers offload complex decisions, automate tasks, and compose intelligent applications using large language models and tool […] The post Heroku AI: Managed Infe..

Agents hold immense power, but their true potential shines when they connect to the real world, fetching data, triggering actions, or leveraging external tools. The Model Context Protocol (MCP) offers a standardized way for AI agents to do this. MCP is an open protocol that standardizes how applications provide context to LLMs. Think of MCP […] The post Heroku AI: Build and Deploy Enterprise Grade MCP Servers appeared first on Heroku .

I moved recently, and so did my home server. You might have noticed it due to the downtime. This time I have built a dedicated shelf for it, which allows for more flexibility and room for additional expensive ideas. The internet connection is a fiber line, which is fantastic for a place that’s generally considered to be in the countryside. I had to hire a guy at the last place in Tallinn (capital of Estonia) to pull a fiber line from th....

How we solved OOM issues in ClickHouse using a simple UUID-range bucketing algorithm called InsertSplitter.

Want to tunnel etcd traffic over SSH? Here’s a pitfall I ran into. The problem : Mgmt supports tunnelling the etcd traffic over SSH. This is quite useful, because it means that for it to connect to etcd, it doesn’t need to open up any new ports other than 22. You can run the agent like so: mgmt run --ssh-url = etcd@etcdserver:22 --seeds = http://127.0.0.1:2379 --no-server --no-magic empty and it just works!

Oracle’s SQL*Net break/reset to client wait event shows up whenever Oracle (SQL, PL/SQL call, etc) returns an ORA- error back to the client instead of the normal expected results (and ORA-0 under the hood): SQL> @oerr 0 ORA-0000: normal, successful completion I explained this behavior a bit more in my 2008 post about Oracle’s SQL*Net break/reset to client post.

Change is hard, but a little self-reflection goes a long way. Learn seven questions to ask yourself to prepare for a big change.

Often times, "Stream vs. Batch" is discussed as if it’s one or the other, but to me this does not make that much sense really.

Wallpaper Week 20/2025 Howdy I went for a short hike last weekend in Marin County, CA . We had beautiful weather with temperatures around 70°F and a light breeze that helped during the midday hike. The hike from the parking lot was roughly 1.8 miles and mostly flat. There were other trails going higher over the mountain ridge, but we were not in the mood for climbing.

Truth is a complete defense against defamation. The Hadnagy lawsuit against us is over. Summary judgement. Dismissed, with prejudice. We look forward to returning our full attention to the community and conference we love. We also thank everyone who came forward to help keep our community safe. We know it's not an easy choice, but the world is better for it. This victory is encouraging. We hope it makes attendees feel safe reporti..

Our teams love relational databases and the benefits ACID properties bring to us as engineers, but they have their limits, especially in horizontal scaling. We had to adopt new database tech across a fleet of highly available services while eliminating as much risk as possible… but how? Enter: change data capture patterning.

Logging is the unsung hero of enterprise operations—quietly saving the day, one log line at a time. Imagine trying to maintain successful applications without knowing what’s happening inside them. This would be like flying a plane blindfolded at night, in a storm, with no instruments. Spoiler alert: Neither scenario would end well! Today’s distributed systems […] The post Optimizing Enterprise Operations with Heroku’s Advanced Logging Fe..

I was inspired to browse some of Edsger Dijkstra’s essays today, and came across his speech, “Under the spell of Leibniz’s Dream”. It’s the sort of personal history I love to read, which gives one person’s sense of the world over a period of change. One quote that immediately struck me was his view of his country’s spirit after WWII: An important side-effect of the hard times was the creation of a spiritual climate in which the distinction ..

There’s been an explosion of tools for software development. At the same time there’s a growing sense that software quality isn’t what it used to be—or that developers these days don’t understand what it takes to be a “real” programmer, whatever that means. I’m not that old, but I have some old-school tool preferences. Some tools I really like; in other cases I feel that by not adopting particular habits, I’ve gained or retained an edge o....



The search engine has recently gained the ability to index the PDF file format. The change will deploy over a few months. Extracting text information from PDFs is a significantly bigger challenge than it might seem. The crux of the problem is that the file format isn’t a text format at all, but a graphical format. It doesn’t have text in the way you might think of it, but more of a mapping of glyphs to coordinates on “paper”. These glyp..

Part fantasy, part pirate novel, part fairy tale, this was the first Brandon Sanderson book I’ve read, and I’m not sure it was the best one to start on. The main things I enjoyed in this book were the worldbuilding and the writing style. Unfortunately, I had a hard time disentangling the character of the in-universe narrator with the author, who took almost every opportunity to drop “wisdom” and moralize the current situation. The story its..

Recently got my small lacrymo taken and spent the night in jail, police was flabbergasted and forced to go through protocol, keeping me company by bitching about my arrest that this shouldn't be illegal for the whole night. I'm very weak, I have sustained life threatening injuries so martial arts are out if the picture, what alternative do I have? I was thinking of learning pic related but idk sounds kinda dumb, do you have any better idea..
