It’s the first time we are doing this  so we’ll see how it goes 😃. We noticed video is becoming the norm to share updates, so we thought: why not trying the same format ourselves?

🤺 Postgres then competes with the OS for these resources, making it slower and less efficient.

That's why on conventional machines, you can usually only fit a handful (or maybe a few dozens for larger machines) of Postgres instances. 

A unikernel machine can fit millions! 🤯

The problem with running Postgres on a traditional OS is that the OS has lots of system software (drivers, user shells, file system, and much more ...) that isn't actually needed by Postgres.

😵 BUT this system software still consumes resources (CPU, memory, disk space, ...).

This custom OS is called a "unikernel".

Here's an analogy:

🇨🇭 Swiss army knife = traditional OS (heavy, cumbersome to carry around, can do many things)

🔪 Scalpel = unikernel (lightweight, efficient, tailored to one specific use case)

⚡️ "Prisma Postgres is built on unikernels"

What does that even mean? And why is it better than other DBs? 

Let's break it down! 👇

Prisma Postgres doesn't run on a traditional OS (like Linux). Instead, it runs on a custom, hyperspecialized OS that's tailored to its needs.

x is melting down atm

unfortunately, besides these subgenres of indie rock and my surprisingly good 5k time last night, nearly everything else in the world is doing very, very bad

Thanks - first time in NYC sub-20! Was running mid 19s in sf and low 19s in high school, when such things were a little easier

yesterday, strava's ai-powered "race predictor" said that i could run a 21:30 5k. today, i ran a 19:47 5k. given this new data, the predictor has updated to say that i could run a 20:26 5k. spectacular.

And improvements to the agent panel and Zed AI have landed:

- Added tool result image support to Gemini models and OpenAI models.
- Improved clarity of MCP server connection status in the Settings view.

Images are now supported in popovers:
