How Levels.fyi Built Scalable Search with PostgreSQL
Here’s what we believed in 2020: apps work better when they run closer to their users. Some kinds of apps, like video or real-time presence, can’t be done without physical locality. So, that’s what we expected to talk about on our HN launch thread: WebRTC, edge caching, game servers.
What people actually wanted to talk about, though? Databases.

We Raised A Bunch Of Money
companies have completely taken analytic scalability to a new level with in-database analytics.

We think that the difficulty of storing and indexing data in a scalable way is something that has been underestimated by most of the crypto space. For a long time, the entire space has been limited to finite state applications without much consideration for the wide range of infinite state applications, like social apps and marketplaces, that in fa...

Unlike some other popular algorithms, DiskANN is designed to keep memory usage to a minimum. This makes it a great match for use cases where Turso already excels at.
#Multitenancy
Turso allows for an easy implementation of a database-per-tenant pattern, where databases can be cheaply created on-demand. Keeping memory consumption at bay is critical f... See more

Turso brings Native Vector Search to SQLite
Eventually their database became a ticking time bomb ready to explode at any moment. The first instinct might be to beef up their Postgres instance, like me trying to get big at the gym. But there are physical limits to how much you can scale a single machine before costs increase exponentially. Moreover, query performance and maintenance processes
