My friend Arjun has created his own blogging platform called “Ristret.” I have helped him with content.

Arjun wanting to write about what he learns, and also contribute to the scientific discourse by creating a new and better platform for discussions, he created a new blogging platform.

As it so happens Arjun and I are currently contributing to CockroachDB. So we decided to blog about database-related topics.

So far I have contributed three articles, which I copy here for archival purposes:

• 2018-05-02 The “Wow” effect in CockroachDB (original, source)
• 2018-05-08 The “Open Source” in CockroachDB (original, source)
• 2018-05-16 The “PostgreSQL” in CockroachDB—Why? (original, source)

Inspiration is there for more.
