You've out done yourself this year @CampBestival. Sun kissed and smiling. It's time for bed

Bacalhau v1.8.0 is live.
We’ve made distributed computing radically more usable and radically more cost-efficient:
• 📊 Native Splunk integration: Slash logging costs by up to 80%
• 🏷️ Name-based jobs: Human-readable jobs, not UUIDs
• 🛠️ Enhanced daemon reliability for services at scale
Built for the platform engineers actually running modern infra.

Ran the #TCSLondonMarathon with a Raspberry Pi strapped to my arm 😅
Why? So @ExpansoIO could deploy @BacalhauProject — an open-source orchestrator that tracked my performance without leaking my PII🏃♂️💻
Also raised £ for Dorset Blind Association ❤️

More importantly, I was running for a cause close to my heart — the @DorsetBlind Association, which supports people with sight loss across the region. 🧡
If you'd like to chip in (or reward my wearable server experiment), you can donate here:

Thanks to the amazing team at @ExpansoIO , everyone who cheered me on, and of course, the Pi that didn’t overheat and fry mid-race. 😅

Run SQL on data without moving it? Yup. 💥
Just dropped a guide using @BacalhauProject + @duckdb to build a distributed data warehouse across the US + EU.
🔹 No data movement
🔹 Regional compliance
🔹 Anomaly detection, customer insights, & more

New in @BacalhauProject v1.7.1: S3 Partitioning! No more writing partition-aware code. Just clean jobs + automatic retries for failed partitions.
Partition by:
📁 Object
📆 Date
🌎 Region (Regex)
👥 Segment (Substring)
Perfect for logs, uploads, sales data + more.

Wait… what?! We just found out that we were a finalist for the 2024 @CRN Tech Innovator Awards—and no one told us! 😅
Apparently, we made it all the way to the finals… and lost to @RedHat Device Edge. Honestly? If you’re going to lose, losing to Red Hat isn’t bad company to be in.

It’s day 4 of our '5 Days of Bacalhau', and today we’re diving into Node-to-Node TLS! 🔐
Security is at the heart of Bacalhau, and now, with TLS encryption between nodes, security is at the edge and everywhere in-between too.
Check out our latest blog post for all the details!
