So I guess I should do an #introduction

I live in #Minneapoils #minnesota with my spouse (they/them), our toddler son, and a cat. Hobbies are #homebrew #simracing #homeimprovement #mechanic and I dabble in #electronics

For work I'm a backend developer, who's also done infra (I guess you could say #devops). Current code base uses #kotlin #kafka #postgres #rocksdb #ktor

Contributor to #cassandra #ScyllaDB (and a few other OS projects) and have spoken at Cassandra Summit 2016

Each time I see posts about how Mastodon (the backend software) scale I start to architect a replacement in my head.

Maybe a rewrite in rust using #Glommio and an event sourced core with storage in #PostgreSQL, projections in #ScyllaDB and #RedPanda for the queues.

But that's very much not a weekend project so it'll never happen.

Being a large datastore, there are many internal activities competing for disk I/O. #ScyllaDB Engineer Pavel Emelyanov explains how we handle the competition between data writers, readers, and background activities: http://ow.ly/EZQV50Lluw0

I am the Director of Technical Advocacy at #ScyllaDB, the monstrously fast NoSQL database. I like to stay abreast of changes in technology ("this next tech cycle") as well as what's the latest in social media. Where are my other database nerds at?
