How AI Is Built#029 Search Systems at Scale, Avoiding Local Maxima and Other Engineering LessonsModern search systems face a complex balancing act between performance, relevancy, and cost, requiring careful architectural decisions at each layer.While vector search generates buzz, hybrid approaches combining traditional text search with vector capabilities yield better results.The architecture typically splits into three core components:ingestion/indexing (requiring decisions between batch vs streaming)query processing (balancing understanding vs performance)analytics/feedback loops for continuous improvement.Critical but often overlooked aspects include query understanding depth, systematic relevancy testing (avoid anecdote-driven development), and data governance as search systems naturally evolve into organizational data hubs.2024-10-3154 min

How AI Is BuiltSupabase acquires OrioleDB, A New Database Engine for PostgreSQL | changelog 1Supabase just acquired OrioleDB, a storage engine for PostgreSQL.
Oriole gets creative with MVCC! It uses an UNDO log rather than keeping multiple versions of an entire data row (tuple). This means when you update data, Oriole tracks the changes needed to "undo" the update if necessary. Think of this like the "undo" function in a text editor. Instead of keeping a full copy of the old text, it just remembers what changed. This can be much smaller. This also saves space by eliminating the need for a garbage collection process.
