Estuary Deep Dives: Behind the scenes at PCHQ
PCHQ is an informal testbed/research facility, where the software and to an extent hardware that will make up EHI and the Estuary V2 initiative is being benchmarked, tested and proven out. Read this for an exclusive inside look! In 7-10 days, we hope to provide a similar look behind the scenes at our upcoming production hardware refresh - EHI - which will be real hardware in a colocation facility, to an enterprise grade standard (unlike the "just for fun and research" WingsLab @ PCHQ). We hav...

Riff.CC Update 2023-02-04
Hello from the Riff.CC Project! In May 2022, we published a post on our OpenCollective hinting at what we’ve been up to, and left it fairly vague.
