Designing scalable lease coordination in CockroachDB, focusing on key distribution, concurrency, and reducing transaction conflicts in multi-region systems.
Microservices assume predictable callers. AI agents break this with non-deterministic calls, fan-out, and retries. Here are 5 core assumption breaks and fixes.
AI is transforming multi-cloud integration with real-time, decentralized, secure systems — improving compliance, APIs, and scalability across industries.
Building effective AI models for real-world applications requires clear problem definition, quality data, the right algorithms, continuous testing, and optimization.
Observability costs spiral when teams optimize for visibility, not cost. Fix it by making spend visible, sampling aggressively, and cutting low-value data.
We analyzed 1,000 data pipeline incidents across 500+ environments and found that code-related failures still account for ~10% of all data quality issues.
AI-generated code broke three of the five classical non-functional quality pillars — readability, maintainability, and security — while creating two new dimensions
AppSec focuses only on code, leaving AI supply chains exposed. Effective security embeds AI checks into workflows, scanning PRs and AI components continuously.
Most meetings waste engineering time, increase latency, and break focus. The 7 Pillars of Meeting Design help teams create efficient, outcome-driven decisions.
