#emmett — Public Fediverse posts

The current Open Source model assumes symmetry between all users, but... When the OSI insists cloud providers deserve equal treatment to individual developers, it forces projects into defensive positions.

Then we hear:
- Rug pull!
- Open Source drama!
- Yet another License change!

And guess what, I'm also want to set a dual license for #Pongo and #Emmett. I want to do it in a transparent way and created a dedicated, public RFC for that: https://github.com/event-driven-io/emmett/pull/260.

If you have some thoughts around it, please comment and share with me your thoughts.

If you don't have, then I think that this RFC is still a decent way to learn on the OSS licensing, and why you should care about it. I tried to explain them in a straightforward way, together with the background.

Sharing is caring, so I'd appreciate resharing or tagging someone who can have experience to share 🙂

How to build #MongoDB Event Store? The neat part is you don't!

Oh well, past me thought like that, but Alexander Lay-Calvert persuaded me to change my mind and did most of the work. We delivered #MongoDB storage, and it went surprisingly well. I wrote a detailed write-up on how to do it!

There were many interesting challenges in how to make it consistent and performant, so I think that's an interesting read.

I think it's a good guide if you're considering using #MongoDB as anevent store. Surprisingly, I have had numerous discussions recently with people trying to do it.

If you're considering using key-value databases like #DynamoDB and #CosmosDB, then this article can also outline the challenges and solutions.

My first choice is still on #PostgreSQL, but I'm happy with the #MongoDB implementation in #Emmett.

If #MongoDB is already part of your tech stack and the outlined article constraints are not deal-breakers, this approach can deliver a pragmatic, production-friendly solution that balances performance, simplicity, and developer familiarity.

I'm not sure what took longer, delivering the implementation or writing this article. So I'll appreciate the feedback and sharing with your friends. ❤️

🎉🙌 Just got the first sponsor for #Emmett and #Pongo. Thank you, Christopher Watford, that’s much appreciated!

You can also become one, and get “help me, help you” synergy. Sponsor tiers also include extended support for users and other perks. Check more 🙂👇

I'm being quite frank about my desire to make working on #Emmett, #Pongo, and other community projects sustainable. I'd like to get enough money from direct work on those projects to fully focus on them and bring more value to you and your projects.

I think that supporting #OpenSource is a win-win for both sides. If you're using or considering using Emmett or Pongo tools, it's also some sort of due diligence to reduce the bus factor and maintain them continuously.

Next year, I'll try to speak more about #Emmett and #Pongo at conferences (both on what you can do with them and my lessons learned building them).

Do you have any recommendations on nice JavaScript/TypeScript conferences? I'd like to dive more into the JS/TS community.

I just noticed we're one person short of having 100 people on the #Emmett & #Pongo Discord server.

Who wants to be the 100th? 😀

As I'm working on adding observability #Emmett and #Pongo, I decided to return to this idea and show how tests can drive predictable observability!

Check the latest #ArchitectureWeekly release to see my take: https://www.architecture-weekly.com/p/making-your-system-observability

As always, feedback is more than welcome!

First days after vacation and new #Pongo release. I added support for regular (non-pooled) connections. That should enable using it (and #Emmett) with solutions like Cloudflare Hyperdrive and connection pools like PgBouncer.

Small, but important step. See more in 👇

Yes, it'd be awful. But it'd also get people's attention, like "pro-lifers" did when they started holding up graphic pictures of #aborted #fetuses at their demonstrations.
