There's a moment in almost every RAG project where someone asks the question that decides your next two years of ops work: "Do we actually need a vector database, or can Postgres just do this?" It's a better question than it sounds, because the honest answer isn't "use Pinecone" or "use Postgres." It's "it depends on numbers you probably haven't measured yet": how many vectors, how aggressively you filter, how much you care about the absolute ceiling of queries per second. Most teams pick bas... Read more ›

ALEXANDRIA, Va. — pgEdge, the leading open source enterprise Postgres company, has announced pgEdge ColdFront, a transparent data tiering solution for PostgreSQL. Unlike other alternatives, ColdFront’s cold tier is fully writable: UPDATE and DELETE work on archived rows through the same SQL the application already uses, with no code changes and no rehydration required.

When deploying a new VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) 9.1 Fleet, users specify either a Simple or High Availability (HA) deployment model along with the desired deployment size: Small, Medium or Large. Unlike components such as NSX Manager, VCF Operations and VCF Automation, where deployment size and availability are configured independently, VCF Management Services (VCFMS) determines […] Read more ›

CozoDB is an embedded relational-graph-vector database created by Ziyang Hu and the Cozo Project authors. It does Datalog, vector search (HNSW), and full-text search in a single embedded engine and was created with the vision to be the “Hippocampus for AI”. Unfortunately, the project went quiet after December 2024. KuzuDB, another embedded graph database with vector and full-text indexes similar to Cozo, was archived in October 2025. Read more ›

You've picked a model. Maybe it's a 70 billion parameter large model because someone on the team saw it top a leaderboard. Now you need it running in production on your Red Hat OpenShift AI cluster. So you start tuning batch sizes, figuring out quantization, sizing GPU requests, writing Kubernetes manifests, and hoping the out of memory errors stop before your deadline hits.We've watched this play out enough times to see the pattern. The hard part of enterprise AI isn't just picking a model, ... Read more ›

Recently, I’ve been fascinated by the trend of building data storage systems on object storage. Systems like TurboPuffer are all the rage in the search space right now. New storage primitives like SlateDB make creating bespoke storage systems feasible for a single developer or small team. Read more ›
I’ve been working on in meshoptimizer recently; in the process I stumbled upon two optimizations that I did not end up using but I thought they might be fun to write about! The optimizations that actually made it in require some higher level background / explanations that will have to wait until another day :) Both optimizations discussed here touch upon two new (for me) features of AVX-512 that I haven’t had a chance to experiment with until now, and both apply to the same problem: how to de...
