Does anyone know if having Global Accelerator set up would help right now? It's in the list of affected services, I wonder if it's useful in scenarios like this one.

Not sure how it works with MySQL, but with postgres the most common pooling options use transactional mode, which doesn't support LISTEN/NOTIFY.

The problem with postgres-backed queues is they can't be used with connection pooling, so your workers are unnecessarily using up DB connections.

I used to live in Tingbjerg, and could witness firsthand how the immigrants abused the welfare there. The laws may seem harsh, but on the other side you have people who take pride in cheating the social security system.

I think there are usecases where you control the whole chain and have nodes within your organisation. The blockchain becomes a specialised database that's optimised to be a ledger, something like https://chain.com and https://chain.com/sequence/.

Most new apartment buildings in Poland have 3 phases connected to all apartments. Since there's municipal central heating, there's no point in connecting natural gas to those buildings, so you're forced to use induction stovetops. And those are much more efficient with 3 phases.
