Summary

Gergely Orosz announces turbopuffer as a season sponsor for The Pragmatic Engineer Podcast, highlighting the database's innovative use of object storage and smart caching that helped companies like Cursor scale while cutting costs by 95%.

So damn excited to share that @turbopuffer is a season sponsor of The Pragmatic Engineer Podcast! I first heard of them when talking to the Cursor team about how they scaled up their production systems last year. They told me about this incredible DB that scaled with their massive load, while also reducing their bill by 95% called turbopuffer... where they (Cursor) was the first-ever customer (!!) It seemed almost too good to be true. So, of course, I had to meet cofounder @Sirupsen to figure out how they did it. The BIG idea behind turbopuffer is that they built it on object storage - something that few to no startups did before turbopuffer, even though it's very clever. And added wicked smart optimizations, like smart caching on NVMe SSDs. They now have companies like Anthropic, Notion, Linear, Ramp and others using them. Oh, they just crossed $100M ARR... with less than $1M in venture capital raised (!!) All from Canada. I'll bring more details on all the wicked cool stuff they do, now that I'll work a lot closer with them. Love the team. Puff puff!!

The BIG idea behind turbopuffer is that they built it on object storage - something that few to no startups did before turbopuffer, even though it’s very clever. And added wicked smart optimizations, like smart caching on NVMe SSDs. They now have companies like Anthropic, Notion, Linear, Ramp and others using them. Oh, they just crossed $100M ARR… with less than $1M in venture capital raised (!!) All from Canada.
