Codetown is a social network. It's got blogs, forums, groups, personal pages and more! You might think of Codetown as a funky camper van with lots of compartments for your stuff and a great multimedia system, too! Best of all, Codetown has room for all of your friends.

Pinterest launched a next-generation CDC-based database ingestion framework using Kafka, Flink, Spark, and Iceberg. The system reduces data availability latency from 24+ hours to 15 minutes, processes only changed records, supports incremental updates and deletions, and scales to petabyte-level data across thousands of pipelines, optimizing cost and efficiency.
