Inside Meltwater Engineering.

How we built a simple yet powerful event-driven system using MongoDB change streams and AWS SNS/SQS to replace polling-based architectures and deliver real-time user data changes to downstream consumers.

How we used pgcopydb to migrate a 1TB PostgreSQL database from AWS to Azure, covering migration strategies, Kubernetes execution, and the pitfalls we encountered along the way.

From merging pull requests to growing teams — how a 50/50 Team Lead experiment at Meltwater became a full identity shift, one uncomfortable conversation at a time.

We built URLBank, a data-driven system that automatically discovers the best entry points for web crawling using temporal link signals. The research has been accepted at The ACM Web Conference (WWW) 2026. Here's how we rethought seed selection from the ground up.

Meltwater's French AI team hosted the Paris NLP meetup, sharing how we built MIRA, a scalable RAG stack processing billions of documents per day.

How we integrated the Maven Build Cache Extension to speed up JVM builds by reusing outputs from previous builds, both locally and in CI/CD pipelines.

Practices and patterns that evolved over a few years of remote ensemble programming at Meltwater, from tooling and session structure to keeping energy high across time zones.

Inside Meltwater's 3-day global hackathon, where engineers across offices and time zones built AI-powered prototypes, internal productivity tools, and creative experiments.

Actionable strategies for fostering inclusive engineering teams: understanding the unique strengths of ASD and ADHD employees and creating environments where they thrive.
