In case you're wondering how long vacations are in Europe, remember Mistral?
So @GergelyOrosz has a newsletter out on reliability at scale (and why it's so hard), with lessons from Heroku, GCP and Neon. Go read it! substack.com/@pragmaticengi…
Yesterday, we held a small AI-focused event at our Madrid office, with talks from @rmorehig of @tinybirdco and @davidrfgomes + @mario_cadenas of @databricks/@neondatabase. Each talk focused on how to build a real-life, functional, agentic apps in production. Some takeaways 🧵
With Neon Auth and Neon Data API, yeah it kind of is. Still missing a few other things :)
Neon is the new Supabase
I now dream in Spanish 🇪🇸 sometimes. I wonder how big of an accelerator this will be towards becoming a more fluent speaker 🤔
“More tool-calling, less custom sub-agents” @davidrfgomes at the @tinybirdco building with LLMs event
Giving a talk this afternoon in Madrid. Very excited to talk about what we've learnt about how LLMs work, the different inference providers, how to generate code with LLMs and how to take LLM products to production. The event is full but I'll surely be giving this talk again.

Ready for the afternoon event
In the last few months, we've been working on making Neon storage faster. Here are 7 improvements we shipped to boost performance under the hood 🧵
Using Cursor for understanding codebases is simply a goated experience.
Great Post. I almost wrote something similar myself after reading all the FUD spit out by PlanetScale about Metal. There are trade-offs between shared-nothing and shared-storage, but shared-storage is the dominate arch for cloud OLTP (AWS Aurora, SQL Hyperscale, Neon, etc.).
Separation of storage and compute ≠ slow reads from extra hops On Neon, the compute layer can use LFC (Local File Cache) to serve hot reads without a trip to storage layer.
Talk I gave yesterday hosted by @g2i_co. Great fun! youtube.com/watch?v=UL0Y_T…
