Jon Levine reposted thisThis is super awesome, it just became 10x easier to setup Databricks on AWS!Jon Levine reposted thisDatabricks and Amazon Web Services (AWS) are working together to simplify infrastructure setup for customers. Automated configuration for classic workspace deployment is the first step. Teams can now create a fully configured environment in minutes, with built-in approvals, least-privilege roles, and consistent security controls. This helps organizations spend less time managing infrastructure and more time building data intelligence on AWS. https://lnkd.in/gps5sadC

Jon Levine reposted thisJon Levine reposted this🚀 Automated classic workspace deployment on AWS is Generally Available today! Customers can now automatically orchestrate AWS resources and request IAM permissions directly from the Databricks account console: - 🪣 S3 bucket with Unity Catalog IAM role and managed file events - 🔐 Customer-managed VPC networking and cross-account IAM role - 🤝 Built-in approval workflows for non-admin users What used to take up to an hour is now just a few simple clicks. Spend more time on data intelligence, less on cloud infrastructure setup.

Jon Levine shared thisI'm hiring a product manager to work on Logs and Analytics products at Cloudflare: https://lnkd.in/gsk8QdHt This PM will be responsible for taking the petabytes of logs generated by our network each day, and turning them into useful insights for our customers (and revenue-generating new products!) Responsibilities include: ownership of analytics shown to customers in the dashboard, log storage and retrieval, plus some of our coolest new products like Instant Logs and Analytics Engine. (https://lnkd.in/gtXXzN5C) Please let me know if you know anyone who would be a good fit! PM experience is great but not required for this role -- we're looking for someone who is comfortable talking to customers, understands how to ship software, and likes rolling up their sleeves and diving into data.

Jon Levine liked thisJon Levine liked thisLast week I wrapped up four of the most meaningful years of my career at Patreon. I am excited about what’s next (more on that soon), but Patreon will always hold a very special place in my heart. I love this company. I believe deeply in the mission, the vision, the strategy, and the team. I am leaving with gratitude in particular for three things: The first is the people – I built some of the strongest and most productive working relationships of my career at Patreon. Building shoulder to shoulder with the executive team, the leads in EPD, and teammates across the company has strengthened my conviction that Patreon has the right team to build a generational company in service of an ambitious mission. The second is the progress we’ve made – over the past four years we have transformed the product in pursuit of building an internet that rewards human creativity: launching the new brand and mobile apps, adding 100M+ free memberships on the platform, accelerating creator earnings (including $10B in lifetime earnings, a number that’s quite stale now!), and ultimately rolling out the network this year and setting up the next chapter of innovation (https://lnkd.in/gCNPrHfW). The product velocity now (https://lnkd.in/gMVjhdFe) speaks to how far we’ve come. Finally, I’m grateful for how much I learned along the way. From little things like “take pictures when you’re at a startup” to learning how to lead new functions, work with a board, and seeing up close the full power of a mission-driven, founder-led company. I recall four years ago someone encouraged me to take this opportunity because they thought I would learn the most and boy were they right. Thank you! These last four years have been the most meaningful and fulfilling of my career. Thank you in particular to Jack Conte for founding the company and being a fantastic manager, mentor, and thought partner. To all of my teammates over the years – I believe the world is a better place for the work you’ve done and I am so optimistic about the future for creators and fans thanks to you. I’ll see you in the network!

Jon Levine liked thisJon Levine liked thisI’m excited to share that this week I’m starting a new chapter as VP of Engineering at Chainguard! My early work focused on secure software engineering — analyzing source code, identifying vulnerabilities, and making software safer by design. Joining Chainguard feels like coming home to work on something I have cared deeply about throughout my career. Chainguard is helping define the future of software supply chain security. As AI transforms how software is written and delivered, secure foundations have never been more important. I’m thrilled to help build platforms and engineering teams that enable organizations to build and operate secure software in this new era. I’m also excited to reunite with former colleagues, including Patrick Donahue and Reid Tatoris, and work alongside the team building Chainguard’s future. As I begin this next chapter, I’ve been reflecting on my seven years at Cloudflare. The journey was extraordinary. During that time, I was responsible for Cloudflare’s portfolio of Application Security Detection products, which became a major contributor to the company’s revenue and growth. I had the privilege of working with exceptional software engineers, machine learning and AI engineers, data scientists, security analysts, product leaders, and talented colleagues around the world. Together, we built systems that combined large-scale software engineering, security expertise, data, and machine learning to protect important Internet applications worldwide. We built an industry-leading machine-learning platform for bot detection that became one of the most commercially successful products in the industry. We created Cloudflare Turnstile, now widely used around the world as a privacy-preserving alternative to traditional CAPTCHAs. Seeing it adopted by governments, businesses, and organizations across many industries has been both humbling and deeply rewarding. We also built and launched Cloudflare’s API Security offering, turning an ambitious idea into a meaningful business that generated millions in revenue its first year. None of these accomplishments would have been possible without the exceptional engineers, product leaders, and partners I had the privilege of working with. I’m especially grateful to the leaders and mentors who brought me to Cloudflare, believed in me, and gave me the opportunity to grow — Usman Muzaffar and Jamie H.. I leave Cloudflare with tremendous pride, gratitude, and friendships that will last well beyond my time there. Now, I’m energized by what lies ahead at Chainguard. We have an ambitious mission, hard technical problems to solve, and an opportunity to make software safer for everyone. And we’re growing. If you’re an engineer passionate about AI, cybersecurity, software supply chain security, developer platforms, distributed systems, or building products with meaningful global impact, I’d love to hear from you. The next generation of software needs to be secure by default. Let’s build it together.

Fantastic blog post from our friends at Whatnot on how they are unlocking trusted AI-powered analytics. Of course I am biased, because a portion of their solution is using Snowflake's Semantic Views. https://lnkd.in/gGNYugfZ A few highlights: 📈 How to navigate the trust/flexibility tradeoff without creating a mess (focus on evolving and enriching context to "hill-climb" to expanded analytic reach); 💡 How Semantic Views can use Cortex Search Services to do "smart matching" of terms in user queries (I don't know what a labubu is and I will probably spell it wrong anyway); 💻 AI doesn't make high quality data modeling and data development practices go away. Integrating the Semantic View lifecycle into existing dbt models and development best practices is key.

I think Databricks’ Genie Code is clearly less about introducing an entirely new product and more about formalizing the steady improvement of its AI development experience over the last year. Not only has the output quality improved over time, but features such as dashboard authoring, Lakeflow Spark Declarative Pipelines support, etc were under-the-radar additions that positively impacted development speeds, quality, and time-to-delivery. Some competitors have had to rethink or replace rough first-generation coding products, Databricks started with something usable and kept improving it, so hey, might as well celebrate with a new name too! Also, I believe the emphasis on more agentic capabilities points to where the platform is going next, especially as Databricks pushes toward a more unified AI product experience built around governed enterprise data.

If you shift the goal from 𝘥𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘭𝘰𝘱𝘦𝘳 𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘥𝘶𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘷𝘪𝘵𝘺 to 𝐝𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐥𝐨𝐩𝐞𝐫 𝐚𝐜𝐜𝐞𝐥𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧, the way you measure success has to change too. Most traditional metrics break down in an AI-assisted world (many shouldn't have been used to begin with). Lines of code, velocity, story points, and utilization measure 𝘢𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘷𝘪𝘵𝘺. They don’t tell you whether teams are moving faster toward meaningful outcomes. Acceleration is about 𝐡𝐨𝐰 𝐪𝐮𝐢𝐜𝐤𝐥𝐲 𝐭𝐞𝐚𝐦𝐬 𝐜𝐚𝐧 𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐧 𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐚𝐬 𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐨 𝐢𝐦𝐩𝐚𝐜𝐭 and what slows them down along the way. Here are some of the signals that matter: 𝐅𝐥𝐨𝐰 Time to clarity: how fast can a developer get the context they need? Time to validation: how quickly can ideas be tested end-to-end? Cycle time from idea to working solution 𝐅𝐫𝐢𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 Handoffs and coordination overhead Context switching and interruption cost Time spent unblocking dependencies Manual work around the work (status reporting, tickets, approvals) 𝐎𝐮𝐭𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐬 Time to impact for customers or internal users Quality signals (stability, reversions, escaped defects) Confidence to ship and iterate 𝐃𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐥𝐨𝐩𝐞𝐫 𝐞𝐱𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞 Cognitive load Autonomy and ownership Sentiment: do developers 𝘧𝘦𝘦𝘭 faster and more effective? AI can easily make teams look more productive on paper. But if you measure the wrong things, you’ll accidentally slow them down by incentivizing the wrong behavior. Acceleration improves when the environment gets out of the way. The goal isn’t to extract more from developers. It’s to remove friction so their judgment, creativity, and craftsmanship compound. How are you measuring acceleration today and where do your metrics still pull teams in the wrong direction?

Real-time shouldn’t mean new stack. Apache Spark RTM, batch and streaming share the same APIs and governance model. One unified engine. One skill set. One operational surface area. Architectural consolidation isn’t just elegant - it’s cheaper, faster to ship, and easier to scale. https://lnkd.in/ecRZCA9t End-to-end single digit millisecond latency with #Spark.
