Good luck with that. Actually number of records is irrelevant. It is about reliability. You can never be sure your migration will work without error 100% on prod instance. If it does not - you have downtime, lost data(as recovery is from backup, or roll…
Yes, let me correct myself.
Volodymyr is right about that specific case.

Probably nothing will happen and it will work on single db(with low rps)

I would go that way ONLY
- if I can afford downtime + backup + losing data
- If I am okay to be down until I hot fox and roll forward

Otherwise - 3 steps.

After I worked some years

I just hope software for healthcare and airplanes along with defence area is built differently

Would you come to me as to doctor, if I am same quality doc as I am engineer?😆😆😆😆😆
👍4❤1
Someone has sent me.

The problem is that similar thoughts I have heard from ex-Google director, currently Principal at Snow….

The guy is from Moldova. We had a Leetcode mock interview in the beginning of the summer.

Now he relocated to Ireland, interviewing with many companies, and eventually we met in person in noname coworking, cause Snowflake does not have nice office to show😆

Let’s wish him offers, as market in Ireland at least is not that great.

So was it 2026 instead of 2015?)

Daily 434th day streak

Interesting and unique problem.
Was pretty hard for me to build an intuition. But solution has pattern, so I would recommend.

Had to show my CT scan to Ukrainian friend. Wanted to make it as easy as possible to see that scan so no need to install any app, etc

This is why I love about AI. 15 mins + my manual deployment: here you go, you have CT scan viewer. Just like that. Everyone can do it. Cheap and easy. Scary... and good at the same time

Btw look how big my heart is😁 I thought it is smaller.

for old school people like me who from time to time automatically open "tran" -> "translate.google.com" to recall English word:

is it only me or google translate became MASSIVELLY slower especially on first run, sometimes I'm waiting for 5 secs until I see my characters appear on the text area?

Pretty hard problem (to build intuition for). Implementation is quite easy. It is pretty unique, apart from one nice math trick you would learn here.

Otherwise no pattern I would not recommend. The math trick will be shown separately in separate post

Interesting thing that I knew about combinations - is that you can precompute them using pascal triangle.

Generally the formula is:
C(n, k) = n! / (k! · (n − k)!)

Pascal triangle formula is:
C(n, k) = C(n−1, k−1) + C(n−1, k)

===

It is nice, cause I always keep forgetting combinations formula, and it is very hard for me to recreate it from the simple examples.

Now on the interview I can just state: there is formula, I don't remember but I know Pascal triangle will do the job.
