Gerardo A. Estaba reposted thisGerardo A. Estaba reposted this🎤Have you thought about speaking at PG Down Under 2026? We’re welcoming submissions from anyone with PostgreSQL stories, lessons, and technical insights to share with the community. Talk ideas could include real-world PostgreSQL use cases, feature deep dives, performance optimisation, application development, scaling strategies, security, deployment and infrastructure, operations at scale, extensions, or even a look at what’s coming next in PostgreSQL. PG Down Under 2026 takes place in Sydney on 30 October 2026. If you’ve been thinking about submitting, now’s a great time to get your talk in: https://lnkd.in/gb4-EbvW #PostgreSQL #PGDU #CallForPapers #OpenSource #DatabaseCommunity

Gerardo A. Estaba shared thisJust finished recording a nearly two-hour podcast as a guest on What The Tech (AU) with Vivienne and René. A few of the views I shared: • Every AI app is a data app in disguise. • Developers do not want less control. They want less plumbing. • Most engineering teams do not have a scaling problem. Most have a complexity problem. • AI lets more people build. Solid foundations are as important as ever. • Open source is becoming an almost existential choice for enterprises. • The market is moving away from distributed by default and back towards simple stacks that earn complexity later. That is why people now launch businesses in 36 hours, not months. • Building distributed applications before you have millions of users is often better for your resume than for your product. Stay tuned!

Gerardo A. Estaba reposted thisGerardo A. Estaba reposted thisWe are looking for someone to lead CLI development at Supabase. Who is the best Go dev that you know? They don't need CLI experience, they just need to have a good product sense. This is becoming one of the most critical interfaces for devs/agents. My pitch for Supabase: ◆ we're open source ◆ we don't do geo-adjusted pay ◆ we have an async work culture ◆ most engineers have 1 meeting per week ◆ we're full distributed across 50 countries ◆ we power the world's fasted growing companies Application link ↓ https://lnkd.in/eT6rSn4t

Gerardo A. Estaba shared thisWe're hiring Solutions Architects anywhere in APAC to help customers be successful on Supabase. Our immediate priority is to hire a versatile hands-on technologist who’ve spent enough time building and running postgres to know where the sharp edges are and how to avoid them. If you know someone that would be great, refer them to me, and if we end up hiring them, I'll get you any item from the https://supabase.store/ (check the prices) My pitch: * No pushy sales. Just help customers succeed. * We have a 100% remote, async work culture. * Cool product customers are loving. Check out our growth chart. * We power the world's fastest growing companies: over half of Y Combinator batch and the top AI-coding tools like Lovable, bolt.new, Figma Make.

Gerardo A. Estaba shared thisShort version: I’m excited to share that I've joined Supabase as the first Customer Solutions Architect in APAC. First impressions: talented and egoless folks building something unique customers are loving. We’re building the SA team in APAC, reach out if interested. Long version: I knew Supabase was popular early last year, but I didn’t really “get it” until I used it myself, then it clicked. It’s simple, fast, open source, and effectively free until you get some decent user traffic. Then I remembered having bumped into Tim at AWS Summit Sydney a year earlier where he jokingly (or not?) suggested I join him at Supabase. It wasn’t the best time for me. A year later, thankfully the door was still open. What is Supabase? A platform that helps developers build in a weekend and scale to millions. Think of it as a fledgling open source cloud provider with an integrated set of dev tools built around postgres: database, APIs, auth, storage, functions, etc. It’s become a default choice for a lot of early-stage teams such as half of the Y Combinator 2025 batch and AI coding tools like Lovable, bolt.new and Figma Make. Why I think Supabase is popular. - The product: an open source alternative to Firebase with everything you need for a full-stack application, simple and radically open source. Run it yourself or run it on Supabase. - The community: a global army of builders shipping examples, answering questions, opening issues and PRs, and making the product better every week. - Customer centricity: Supabase builds in public, listens in Discord/GitHub, and ships features customers ask for. Why I’m excited: - Working with APAC startups and innovation teams. I love the thrill, scrappiness and ambition of builders, innovators and entrepreneurs. - Reuniting with my Racker buddy and all-round legend, Tim Palmer. - People here seem to be having the time of their lives. And have that rare combination of talent and no ego: just well-rounded, smart, fun people to work with. - Hard-working, autonomous, remote and async culture with minimal internal meetings and plenty of deep customer work. If you’re thinking about your next AI or app project, re-thinking your backend, or already building on Supabase, I’d love to hear what you’re building and see how we can help. And we're building the Solutions Architecture team in APAC! If you're a versatile technologist that's continuously improving, who puts customers first, is willing to do the schlep, and feels strongly about open source, reach out! Let’s go!

Gerardo A. Estaba shared thisAfter 8.5 years, I’ve made the hard decision to leave AWS for a new adventure. Without doubt, these have been the best professional years of my life. I was given opportunities I wasn’t sure I was ready for at the time, and the freedom to experiment and build while staying true to my values. I gave it my all. And it rewarded me and changed me in many ways. There are too many Amazonians I’ve admired and learned from. Many partners who trusted me to help grow their businesses. I was pushed out of my comfort zone more times than I can count. And I loved it. I don’t take any of it for granted. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

Rebooted Twitter's entire developer strategy. Led Developer Relations at Microsoft Azure. Now Head of Product Marketing at Supabase. Prashant Sridharan has mass-marketed to developers through every major platform shift of the last 30 years. So when he says "the next user might not be a human — it's an AI agent," you listen. We went deep on: → What broke in his playbook when AI entered the picture — and what got more valuable → Why Supabase is betting on MCP so AI agents connect directly to your backend → The gap between what users say they want from AI assistants vs. what they actually use → Whether we'll soon market to agents before we market to humans → His highest-conviction bet on AI and marketing for the next 24 months 3 decades of developer marketing wisdom meets the AI moment. This one is a masterclass. 🎧 Link in comments 👇 #GenAI #ProductMarketing #Supabase #DevRel #AIAgents #Podcast

Gerardo A. Estaba liked thisGerardo A. Estaba liked thisOne month ago I joined Supabase. I've worked at startups in the past, but Supabase is unique in good ways: culture, velocity, customer focus, open source, effective AI use, genuinely global team, continuous improvement. And then there is the exponential market growth that is honestly quite hard to wrap my mind around. It's a lot, but in the best way.
