Postgres LISTEN/NOTIFY hits 60k writes per second
DBOS published an engineering benchmark detailing how PostgreSQL's built-in LISTEN/NOTIFY feature can reliably back real-time data streams at high throughput. While conventional wisdom cautions against using LISTEN/NOTIFY for high-concurrency event streaming due to lock contention during transaction commits, DBOS demonstrates that optimized streaming patterns enable a single Postgres server to achieve 60,000 writes per second at millisecond-scale latency, removing the need for auxiliary message brokers in many architectures.

OpenJDK Deprecates macOS/x64 Port for Removal
OpenJDK has published JEP 541, announcing plans to deprecate the macOS/x64 (Intel Mac) port with the intention of removing it in a future JDK release. Following Apple's transition to Apple Silicon, maintaining the build has become an unnecessary engineering burden, and starting as early as JDK 27, configuring it will require --enable-deprecated-ports.
