I'm curious if anyone is building: 1) business intelligence (Tableau, Looker), 2) user analytics (Mixpanel, Amplitude), or 3) a customer data platform (Segment) natively on S3 / object storage (outside of Databricks). I've had smart people tell me they would like these products.

There are several tools that use functional programming principles to build beautiful software. React & Nix are two examples. We believe @EffectTS_ will be next for JS/TS devs. We're so excited to work with @MichaelArnaldi & announce our seed round!

Our Investment in Effectful

By Renee Shah and Lenny Pruss Effectful is only the beginning of a movement that aims to redefine what’s possible for JS developers worldwide.

PaaS companies haven’t always been great businesses, but this is changing. New PaaS companies have learned from the past, and they're creating different “layers of abstraction” for developers & enterprises. I’d also argue that Netlify/Vercel are PaaS cos that are successful.

Infrastructure companies are betting more heavily in security, where there are huge budgets. Datadog & Elastic have moved into the SIEM space. Edge providers (Cloudflare / Fastly) have always had strong security benefits.

We hosted our first VP Eng & Head of AI Dinner in SF! The conversation included: 1) Whether a startup could build an alternative to S3 (optimized for certain file formats), 2) Why anomaly detection is so hard, and 3) How to angel invest. Lmk if there are others we should invite.

Privacy engineering is on the rise outside of Google, Apple, and AWS. This will become a role at many tech companies, and there will be software that sells into this role

So fun to meet these inspiring "women in dev tools" tonight. If you know of any women who could benefit from this community, please let me know! I'm open to forming a mafia.

Security engineers are on the rise, and they’re becoming important buyers of software. Security engineers should join Platform Engineering teams and set standards for security across the org.

Databricks emerged as one of the most innovative companies in 2023, capitalizing on LLMs – with its release of Dolly and purchase of Mosaic. In the past, Databricks = unstructured data, while Snowflake = structured data. My sense is Snowflake will try to catch up in 2024.

Companies are starting to pipe telemetry data into LLMs, alongside enterprise data (eg runbooks, docs). I heard good things about GPT4’s performance to solve basic issues (eg “why is my container not starting?”). Model reasoning needs to improve for true root cause analysis.

The “competition” between Wasm and Docker is false. All technologies have trade-offs, and every piece of infrastructure is better for some things over others. There are big markets for both Wasm and Docker.

Wasm is fast, and performance often creates winners in markets. I’m curious if ecommerce sites of the future will demand search that’s written in Rust, compiled to Wasm, and served on the edge.

Legacy data privacy companies are consulting businesses for compliance advice, and they’re highly manual. They lack automation & zero config and will be slowly disrupted

Hearing this praise on @fermyontech means a lot coming from @jdegoes . 🚀 He has done an awesome job building the ZIO community (). Wasm is not just the JVM all over again.

The startup @fermyontech is what a next-generation cloud computing platform could look like. Built from the ground-up for WASM backend apps, platforms like Fermyon may usher in a new age of distributed microservices.

The data warehouse is becoming a central point for GRC. Companies are re-doing privacy strategies as they adopt Snowflake and shift to the cloud
