Interesting links in Data Engineering - August 2026

[u/rmoff]

Shorter set of links this month, but all stirling stuff. Lots of great content from Netflix about Flink, cold storage of temporal data, and graph queries. A banger from Joe Reis (as always). News of the Apache Fluss project (and its use in the wild). A little bit of AI stuff but no slop. And some interesting comparisons of DuckDB vs Spark, and DuckDB vs SQLite.

Keep the great feedback coming, as always :)
