Boriss Mejías and I just finished recording our storytelling session about the advantages of data modeling (in #PostgreSQL, but applies for any relational database) for @posetteconf ! 🐘

When it's live, you'll be able to hear him mention "no animals were harmed during the making of this video" - that's because Mama Lily here is in my recording room with her baby bunnies, and they enjoy pretending to be a construction crew at all times.

Their toys were removed just for the talk so they took a nap, and everything was put back - so everyone went right back to having fun ☀️

Register for POSETTE (or keep an eye out for the recordings!) here: https://lnkd.in/gQbQe4qJ

Or check out my rescue Two Rabbit Rescue on Instagram (@2rabbitrescue), Mastodon (@[email protected]), or Facebook (@two-rabbit-rescue) to keep an eye out for when Mama Lily and her kids are adoptable 💕 (or if you just want to see more bunny cuteness!)

@tchorix & I are presenting on data modeling within #PostgreSQL in a storytelling fashion at @posetteconf, a free virtual event hosted by #Microsoft that's all about #Postgres this June 10-12!

Want to tune in? Add the livestream to your calendar, or register (optionally) here: https://posetteconf.com/2025/talks/postgres-storytelling-cunning-schema-design-with-creative-data-modeling/ (or, wait until the recording is out after the event!)

Illustrations will be completed by Scarlett Riggs, who we are very excited to be working with.

This talk should be great for anyone that's looking to understand things from the perspectives of an application developer, and a seasoned database administrator; here, you'll be able to learn when it is best to handle logic within the database vs. the application!

Looking forward to seeing you there 📽️

Went to the first technology conference I've been to since 2019 and the experience did not disappoint!!

Many thanks to the organizers of #SCaLE22x for creating a lovely conference experience as always. It is one of my favorite #OpenSource events, although I'm biased at least a little given it was my first introduction to the #tech community 14 years ago.

If you haven't been, it's a great community & open source focused event with a very diverse group of attendees, wide range of talks and a packed expo hall.

To all the folks I was able to visit, meet, or connect with during the event: I loved it! Thank you for making the time! And I hope to see you again - & continue building connections - very soon as I look at increasing event participation over the next year.

Special thanks to @dbeaver_news for my very cool (and unfortunately not permanent) tattoo. I wore it with pride. ❤️

(Yes, I did re-dye my hair just for the event. It was a good excuse to 🙌)

A disparaging attack on #AI, #ML, & #LLM this article is not. What it *does* encompass is the need for actual care and concern for preventing #cybersecurity & #privacy risks.

Often, we launch too quickly without paying any mind to the consequences that can result.

This results in PR and legal nightmares for small and large companies alike, along with a poor user experience and even direct ethical consequences for the user.

We can do better.

#PostgreSQL has the highest adoption rate out of any other database in the last 1-2 years. For good reason - it's an excellent #OpenSource solution that is incredibly flexible, allowing it to suit just about any use case.

#K8s has finally achieved stability to the point that Canonical is offering long-term support (LTS) starting with #Kubernetes 1.32.

This LTS will "support FedRAMP #compliance and receive at least 12 years of committed security maintenance and enterprise support on bare metal, public clouds, OpenStack, Canonical MicroCloud and VMware."
