Tell HN: My Experience with Vertical Pod Autoscaler (VPA) in 2025
It was counter-intuitive to see this much cost saving by vertical scaling, by increasing CPU. VPA played a big role in this. If you are exploring to use VPA in production, I hope my experience helps you learn a thing or two. Do share your experience as well for a well-rounded discussion.# Background (The challenge and the subject system)My goal was to improve performance/cost ratio for my...
Personalization from Matrix Factorization to LLMs
Revolut's 2024 revenue grew 72% to $4 billion with profit before tax increasing 149% to $1.4 billion Disruption Banking. Unlike most fintech darlings, they're actually profitable and growing fast across 65 million customers.
But here's the kicker: this is a secondary sale—meaning existing shareholders are cashing out. When insiders are selling at these valuations, it's worth asking who's buying the peak. Especially when traditional banks are still struggling to innovate and Revolut is building a global bank from scratch.
The company is solid, but $75 billion for a neobank? That's more than many established global banks. The fintech premium is alive and well, even as the AI bubble inflates around it. What do you think?

I was reading Anthropic's enterprise AI adoption report. And Singapore seems to lead (as per their economic index), adoption by working population. Why is that and how does it feel like? Anyone from Singapore, would love to hear your thoughts.

My experience with Apache Pulsar to solve PostgreSQL multi-tenant pain
Background: At RudderStack, I had been successfully using Postgres for the event streaming use case, scaled to 100k events/sec (note: there were good reasons to choose Postgres over Kafka). Nevertheless, we continue to further explore opportunities to optimize. So I and my team started experimenting with Pulsar (only for the parts of our system - data ingestion specifically). We experimented...

Can you name some of the sources (related to tech news) that don't require fact checking?
Ask HN: What are some advanced fact check strategies

Google's fact-check tool seems to work only on old and...
