You can’t UPDATE what you can’t find: vs PostgreSQL

ClickHouse just leveled up. Its new SQL-standardUPDATEis fast—PostgreSQL-fast on single-row changes, and up to4,000×faster on bulk updates. That’s pure columnar speed plus parallelism in the driver’s seat. Yes, both use MVCC. But unlike Postgres, ClickHouse dodges transaction bloat by default. That.. read more

Node.js v22.18.0 (LTS) is out

Node.js just got spicier. You can now runTypeScript files out of the box—no transpile step, no weird configs. It’s experimental, and only supports a trimmed-down syntax, but still: big move. Elsewhere, it’s tacklingburst fs eventswith AsyncIterator support, tightening upCJS/ESM cycle resolution, an.. read more

Building a web search engine from scratch in two months with 3 billion neural embeddings

An indie dev just went full mad scientist and built a full-stack, transformer-powered search engine—solo. They indexed 280 million pages from scratch with hundreds of crawlers, a fully sharded backend, and serious metal:64 RocksDB nodes,200 CPU cores, and82 TB of SSD. Under the hood: custom HTML pa.. read more

No, AI is not Making Engineers 10x as Productive

Claims of 10–100x dev speed from AI tools skip the hard parts—code reviews, bug queues, flaky tests. In practice, AI helps with the small stuff: one-off scripts, throwaway glue code, basic scaffolds. But scaling that help across big, messy codebases? Still a pipe dream. Too much context lost. Too ma.. read more  

FAUN.dev() is a developer-first platform built with a simple goal: help engineers stay sharp without wasting their time. It curates practical newsletters, thoughtful technical blogs, and useful developer tools that focus on signal over noise.

Created by engineers, for engineers, FAUN.dev() is where experienced developers turn to keep up with the fast-moving world of DevOps, Kubernetes, Cloud Native, AI, and modern programming. We handpick what matters and skip the fluff.

If it’s on FAUN.dev(), it’s worth your attention.

Beyond curation, we run a course marketplace (WIP) designed to keep developers current. These courses go deep into the subjects that shape real-world work—things like Kubernetes internals, modern DevOps workflows, cloud-native architecture, and using AI tools to build faster and smarter. It’s practical learning, taught by people who’ve done the work. Developers from companies like GitHub, Netflix, and Shopify already rely on FAUN.dev() to stay on top of their game. They trust us because we keep it real: no hype, no filler, just what you need to grow and do your best work. For sponsors and partners, FAUN.dev() offers access to a focused, engaged audience of technical professionals. This isn’t just another broad developer community—it’s a place where smart engineers go to get smarter. If you have something meaningful to offer them, you’ll be in good company. In short, FAUN.dev() is more than a content hub. It’s a place to grow, to learn, and to connect with what really matters in software today.
