Database Sharding and Partitioning with a solid breakdown of different strategies and their use cases.
https://www.reddit.com/r/programming/comments/1plvg1p/database_sharding_and_partitioning_with_a_solid/

<!-- SC_OFF -->Sharding and partitioning are useful when we want to scale our databases (both storage and compute) and directly improve the overall throughput and availability of the system. In this blog idive deep into details around how a database is scaled using sharding and partitioning, understanding the difference and different strategies, and learn how they beautifully fit together, and help us handle the desired scale. Once you read the blog, you will never be confused between the two; moreover, you will know all the practical nuances as to what it takes to configure either in production. <!-- SC_ON --> submitted by /u/Comfortable-Fan-580 (https://www.reddit.com/user/Comfortable-Fan-580)

Overcoming ClickHouse's JSON Constraints to build a High Performance JSON Log Store

<!-- SC_OFF -->Hi! I write for a newsletter called The Observability Real Talk, and this week's edition covered how we built a high-performance JSON log store, overcoming Clickhouse's JSON constraints. We are touching up on,
- Some of the problems we faced
- Exploring max_dynamic_path option setting
- How we built a 2-tier log storage system, which drastically improved our efficiency

AI and the Ironies of Automation - Part 2
https://www.reddit.com/r/programming/comments/1pmjpbh/ai_and_the_ironies_of_automation_part_2/

<!-- SC_OFF -->Very interesting and thought-provoking piece on the limits and tradeoffs of automation: Because these AI-based agents sometimes produce errors, a human – in our example a software developer – needs to supervise the AI agent fleet and ideally intervenes before the AI agents do something they should not do. Therefore, the AI agents typically create a plan of what they intend to do first (which as a side effect also increases the likelihood that they do not drift off). Then, the human verifies the plan and approves it if it is correct, and the AI agents execute the plan. If the plan is not correct, the human rejects it and sends the agents back to replanning, providing information about what needs to be altered. These agents might get better with time, but they will continuously need human oversight - there is always the possibility of error. That leads us to the problems: How can we train human operators at all to be able to intervene skillfully in exceptional, usually hard to solve situations (if skills in theory not needed regularly, since outsourced to AI)? How can we train a human operator so that their skills remain sharp over time and they remain able to address an exceptional situation quickly and resourcefully (again, if skills in theory not needed regularly, since outsourced to AI)? Perhaps the final irony is that it is the most successful automated systems, with rare need for manual intervention, which may need the greatest investment in human operator training. <!-- SC_ON --> submitted by /u/BinaryIgor (https://www.reddit.com/user/BinaryIgor)
