🎙️ New #TalkingPostgres #podcast Ep38 is out!

Gwen Shapira @gwenshap (co-founder at Nile) joined to talk about her journey with Oracle, NoSQL, & Postgres.

Talking to Gwen was so much fun, and we covered all manner of stories, including:
- If you're arguing with a customer, you've already lost.
- It's always the consultant's fault
- Use the PostgreSQL happiness hints when you're first starting with Postgres
- What happens when you try to add & remove a column 2000 times?
- How Nile was not originally meant to be a Postgres startup
- How even startups like Nile can give back to the Postgres open source project

Nile feature unboxing 🎁 Nile's #Serverless #postgresql is now available world-wide.

You can read all about it in our blog: https://lnkd.in/gHQqXdE5

Additional regions have been one of the top requests from Nile users. The reasons they gave are latency reduction, developer productivity, and compliance with data residency laws.

Our engineers insisted on making it extremely easy to use the Nile SDK in any region. So you only need to set two environment variables, and we handle everything else.

New on the SaaS Developer Community!

I sat with Adam Shugar co-founder and CTO of Dashdive, to discuss his "observability first" approach to cloud costs. He shared his advice, not only on cost but also technology, growing a startup, the importance of community and more.
