Time for our quarterly newsletter detailing what our team here at Data Bene has been up to from the start of 2025 till now (with some interesting events, news, & resources we wanted to highlight ✨)

Check it out on Substack (and remember, a subscription isn't required to read!):

With #PostgreSQL 17 came many substantial changes to how #Postgres deployments are handled; notably, logical replication saw many enhancements that help companies achieve true #Postgres high availability & distribution (even relating to system upgrades across major versions). Read about it, and see related blogs for PG17 updates introduced, in this blog from Ahsan Hadi:

Here is some very early prototyping of a wall jump I have in the works

Humanly renforced vibe coding > vibe coding

Par exemple pour mon petit projet Nitchi je me sers beaucoup plus du LLM pour m'aider à comprendre et adapter des fonctionnalités issues d'un logiciel libre plutôt que de demander au LLM de tout faire à partir de zéro.

Résultat : Base de code maîtrisée, prémisse d'une documentation et gain de temps phénoménal par rapport à la technique "from scratch" tout en limitant les zones d'ombres incompréhensibles et impossible à debugguer.

How a ‘bad’ coder accidentally made our system bulletproof

This person, let’s call him Dave, wasn’t just junior. Dave was entropy in human form. If there was a weak spot in the system, Dave would find it not on purpose, just as a side effect of existing.

We called him the worst programmer on the team.
But we were wrong.

Because Dave didn’t just write questionable code he revealed where our system was weak, fragile, and totally unprepared for real-world chaos.
