I took a look at extended statistics in postgres. An effective way to share with the query planner things you know about relationships in your data. With math! www.valerieparhamthompson.com/posts/extend...

I'm sharing how to pinpoint YugabyteDB APIs you need for automation projects through docs categories, keyword search, UI route mapping, and source code exploration. valerieparhamthompson.com/posts/findin...

Worked on a new jupyter notebook today for retrieving expiration dates and counts from various certificates in YugabyteDB, using the control plane APIs. Going to gather a few more of these before I submit the PR. github.com/dataindataou...

A guy jogged past me this morning on the trail wearing a #kubecon 2024 tshirt. All the way back home here in North Carolina! Well, it reminds me about this project, which links to the talks on YouTube, with some other neat features. dfeldman.org/post/2024-11...

One of my favorite volunteer gigs is judging submissions for Congressional App. Can't wait to see who wins for our district. Such impressive ideas & implementations -- we're in good hands with the upcoming generation of technologists. (For next year: www.congressionalappchallenge.us/students/stu...)

Committed this new example Jupyter notebook for Yugabyte REST APIs yesterday, for local platform user management. github.com/yugabyte/yug... #python #yugabytedb

One of the API examples I shared during the Distributed SQL Summit last week: github.com/dataindataou... Longer transcript and walkthrough coming. #yugabyte #distributed #sql #livedemo

New blog post outlining the details of calling the College Scorecard API to get #opendata and displaying results using #python on a map using the Plotly library. valerieparhamthompson.com/posts/colleg... I'm looking around for more things to map, because this is fun. :)

Using Plotly to create a simple database network map. Had fun with this one. valerieparhamthompson.com/posts/plotly...

Preparing your database for seasonal demand requires thinking ahead… setting up monitoring for your workload, knowing how long it takes to implement scaling, and doing predictive forecasts. www.valerieparhamthompson.com/database-sca...

Most college search websites present forms that are too limited in search terms and subject you to marketing. Turns out, they use open data from the US Department of Education, and you can use this data directly. www.valerieparhamthompson.com/open-data-co...
