This year I have read/watched very few tech-related things outside of $job but I would like to share with all of you a few of the ones I’ve enjoyed the most.

As usual, the contents revolve around databases, systems engineering, cloud computing, runtimes, programming languages and low-level programming, so, if you’re not interested in any of these topics you can save some good time and stop reading here.

Tech Talks

How we build Firebolt

A really nice talk about how the Firebolt folks built their cloud analytical database; the talk covers different aspects of their architecture: how they used ClickHouse as their starting point, compute and storage separation, their metadata layer (based on FoundationDB) among a few other interesting topics.

I would like to share with you a bunch of the tech talks I have recently watched or some of the latest books I have enjoyed.

Disclaimer: this list is just a set of resources I have gone through more or less “recently” about a few different topics I use to enjoy. It’s not my goal to create a “Best Talks/Papers/Whatever List”, just wanted to share with you all some of the things I have found interesting lately (all the resources are listed in no specific order).
