Practical lessons from building production agentic systems

This is a good article, but to me, it illustrates well how the concept of a “middle class” has practically dissapeared in our culture. Is being “not rich” the same as being poor? The article doesn’t describe the childhood of a rich kid, but it doesn’t describe the childhood of somebody poor either. Perhaps this is an interesting consequence of the inequality we’re living in, we forget there’s actually an in-between that could be (perhaps?) a nice thing to also aspire for.

We used the Time Series Benchmark Suite for all these tests https://github.com/timescale/tsbs. Also, Ryan (post author) will be giving all the config details in a Twitch stream happening next Wednesday. We'll be uploading the video to Youtube immediately afterwards too >>

We've been working really hard on our launches / releases this month! We called it "Always Be Launching" - we've been aiming for releasing multiple things per week during October :)

Hi there, thank you for pointing out the sections of the website that got outdated. We'll work on it asap.

However, we still need to defend our use cases... CrateDB has been distributed since the beginning, and it is a very mature technology in this regard. The page you mention is a high-level comparison indeed, but we do talk a little more about Timescale in this post:

We worked on this with your team actually, which in fact assisted us in configuring Timescale. They were great -- but CrateDB performs better here.

We've been also in touch with your team with regards to more comparisons with Timescale... As in order to be fair, we wanted to share everything in advance. This is not a Crate vs Timescale war! Still, we believe CrateDB is amazing and we invite everybody to try it: https://crate.io/download/
