Command Query Responsibility Segregation (CQRS)

DZone

The Initial Need Leading to CQRS The traditional CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) pattern has been a mainstay in system architectures for many years. In CRUD, reading and writing operations are usually handled by the same data model and often by the same database schema. While this approach is straightforward and intuitive, it becomes less effective as systems scale and as requirements become more complex.

Preliminary Thoughts on the White House Executive Order on AI

O'Reilly

Disclaimer: Based on the announcement of the EO , without having seen the full text. While I am heartened to hear that the Executive Order on AI uses the Defense Production Act to compel disclosure of various data from the development of large AI models, these disclosures do not go far enough. The EO seems to be requiring only data on the procedures and results of “Red Teaming” (i.e. adversarial testing to determine a model’s flaws and weak points), and not a wider range of inf

How To Scale a Single-Host PostgreSQL Database With Citus

Percona

When it comes to Citus, successfully building out and scaling a PostgreSQL cluster across multiple nodes and even across data centers can feel, at times, to be an art form because there are so many ways of building it out.
