Christophe Pettus: All Your GUCs in a Row: block_size
A parameter you cannot change. block_size lives in the “Preset Options” section of the docs, alongside its read-only cousins like data_checksums, wal_block_size, and server_version. It reports the size of a PostgreSQL page — the fundamental unit of on-disk storage and buffer-pool accounting. Defa…

Migrating Etsy’s database sharding to Vitess
Etsy has maintained a sharded MySQL architecture since around 2010. This database cluster contains most of Etsy’s online data and is made up of ~1,000 tables distributed across ~1,000 shards. Over the last 16 years, it has grown significantly: combined, these tables have over 425 TB of data and receive roughly 1.7 million requests per second. Etsy engineers access our MySQL data through a proprietary object-relational mapping (ORM). The ORM has a corresponding model for each MySQL table. W...

Making Ads Count: Using MMoE and Auxiliary Tasks to Better Connect Buyers & Sellers
When buyers search on Etsy, they need to quickly and easily find the perfect item. At the same time, sellers need to be confident their unique products are being seen by the right customers. Our Ads Search ranking model, which is built on a multitask learning foundation, is the critical link in this connection. Recently, we identified an opportunity to drive more meaningful buyer engagement by enhancing our model’s ability to predict purchase intent. We achieved this via a dual-pronged impr...
