1. Beyond synthetic testing: Capturing and replaying real database workloads at Airbnb
Published: 2026-10-06 17:01
Summary:
How we capture real production database traffic at Airbnb and replay it offline to load-test, plan capacity, and de-risk upgrades.By: Zuofei Wang, Erluo LiIntroductionAt Airbnb, MySQL-compatible databases are a critical backbone of our online database infrastructure: a fleet of hundreds of clusters supporting thousands of use cases at millions of queries per second (QPS) As a result, it couldn’t accurately replay transactions, which made it impossible to verify that the same queries return the same results on the new database.To close these gaps, we set out to build a system for query capture and replay, with three goals:Load testing with real production traffic The query capture and replay system has three components, all built in-house: a Log Mover that collects the query logs, a Log Processor that turns them into replayable, per-cluster datasets, and a Log Replayer that runs captured traffic against target databases.Because captured queries can contain personal data, the pipeline treats them exactly as we treat production data

1. EmbeddingGemma 2: The Developer Guide
URL: https://developers.googleblog.com/embeddinggemma-2-the-developer-guide/
Published: 2026-10-07 16:04
Summary:
EmbeddingGemma 2 is a compact, open-source multimodal embedding model that maps text, code, images, video, and audio into a unified 768-dimensional space Developers can use the sentence-transformers library to selectively load modular modality encoders—ranging from 270M to 740M parameters—to optimize memory usage Additionally, Matryoshka Representation Learning enables dynamic dimension truncation down to 128d, significantly reducing vector database storage requirements while maintaining high retrieval performance.
2. Bring multimodal semantic search to the edge with EmbeddingGemma 2
URL: https://developers.googleblog.com/google-ai-edge-with-embeddinggemma-2/
Published: 2026-10-07 16:04
Summary:
EmbeddingGemma 2 is a new 740M open-weight multimodal model that maps text, images, video, and audio into a unified vector space for privacy-first, on-device retrieval Developers can easily integrate these capabilities cross-platform using MediaPipe Tasks or optimize fine-grained performance across CPU, GPU, and NPU accelerators with LiteRT The model enables ultra-low-latency local solutions like search-as-you-type media retrieval, keyframe video moments finding, and zero-shot intent routing.
