Instead of deploying a web or game server that sits in between your clients and your database, clients connect directly to the database and execute your logic inside the database itself. No more Docker, Kubernetes, VMs, microservices or extensive ops infrastructure. SpacetimeDB has enabled us to build our massively multiplayer game, BitCraft, with a smal

Saturn’s moon Titan is often pegged as one of the worlds in our solar system where life could theoretically exist. A new analysis concludes that is indeed possible, albeit incredibly unlikely. Titan is known for being the only moon in the solar system with a dense atmosphere, and it also has bodies of liquid, including liquid water hidden under deep shells of ice. But alas, with all that going for it, an international team of astronomers determined that conditions on Titan would only be able to
