I wrote an article for All Things Distributed about some of the background on today's DuckDB announcement and why I think it's so exciting.

Some really exciting news this morning!
Today, @ducklabs_com is joining @awscloud. The move is expected to be completed by early September.
Joining AWS gives DuckLabs the resources and reach to bring DuckDB, DuckLake, and the Quack protocol to many more developers and organizations – and to pursue ideas at a scale that would have been difficult for us to reach alone.
The DuckLabs team will remain together in Amsterdam and will continue working for the Duck Stack community as an AWS subsidiary.
Most importantly, #DuckDB and the other open source components of the Duck Stack will remain free and open source under the MIT license, with the non-profit DuckDB Foundation continuing its stewardship of the projects.
This is a significant moment for DuckLabs and the Duck Stack community. It marks the end of one chapter that we are immensely proud of, and the beginning of another that we believe will take DuckDB much further.

For two decades, S3 has been an object store, but today it's something broader. S3 Files lets you mount any bucket as a filesystem—no copies, no sync scripts, no choosing between file and object. @andywarfield tells the full story, including the "filerectories" that almost made the cut. allthingsdistributed.com/202…

Some thoughts on the S3 Vectors preview launch this week. This one has been really fun to build, and it's exciting to be able to finally share it!

Today is #PiDay. I wrote an article for @Werner's blog about how important the idea of simplicity is in S3 and reflect on some examples of how simplicity has influenced S3's design over almost two decades.

Really fun post from Werner and team about building with rust, media summarization, and the importance (and enjoyment!) of tinkering in systems. Great read. allthingsdistributed.com/202…

Hey @lookbindings, I absolutely loved my pivot 360s. Right until the metal snapped and turned them into a sharp edge attached to my ski as I fell down the run.

I loved talking to Tim Anderson from the Register at re:Invent this year. It was a really fun conversation about a bunch of the S3 announcements.

Customers are very vocally asking us to bring S3 closer to their applications and to developer interactions with their data. Tim's article does a great job of talking about where the team is heading.

This morning I'm coming to terms that it's been 20 years since we wrote the Xen paper. That sure went by fast!
The 2023 @ACMSIGOPS Hall of Fame award goes to the authors of the paper “Xen and the Art of Virtualization”. The paper was presented at @sospconf 2003.
Congratulations to the authors! The award was announced at @sospconf #sosp2023

Werner asked me to put together a written version of some of the material from the FAST talk that I did earlier this year. The article is up this morning on #allthingsdistributed.
