baristaGeek commented on Postgres LISTEN/NOTIFY does not scale   recall.ai/blog/postgres-l... · Posted by u/davidgu

Postgres is a great DB, but it's the wrong tool for a write-heavy, high-concurrency, real-time system with pub-sub needs.

You should split your system into specialized components: - Kafka for event transport (you're likely already doing this). - An LSM-tree DB for write-heavy structured data (eg: Cassandra) - Keep Postgres for queries that benefit from relational features in certain parts of your architecture

Hi! Have been following LiveKit for a while.

You mention global presence but the job application forms require legal authorization to work in the US. Can you please clarify if you're remote global, or remote US?

baristaGeek commented on Show HN: Run your favorite open-source AI coding agent in the browser   github.com/newrev-io/newr... · Posted by u/gerardosuarez

What's exactly the benefit of running on the browser? I get that accessibility to a broader audience is a benefit but from what I understand these agents run on the terminal because they have a more powerful runtime. You don't have the browser's memmory limits, you can install native tools such as curl or docker, the model runs directly on your machine, and you have more security on the CLI.
