System Architecture

Don't use actors for concurrency. Instead, use actors for state and use futures for concurrency. A common practice I've seen in scala code is to use actors for concurrency. This is encouraged by Akka and a lot of writing about Scala, the documentation of which is highly actor-centric. I assert …

Chainguard takes a new approach to building a container Linux with all the security you'd need already baked in.

Solutions with preinstalled open source Kubernetes management platforms can simplify the deployment and management of complex container environments at scale.

When computer architectures change in the datacenter, the attack always comes from the bottom. And after more than a decade of sustained struggle, Arm Ltd

There are thousands of algorithms that have had a huge influence on the world. Here are some of the algorithms that act as the heartbeat of the world we occupy.

A good Kubernetes setup makes the life of developers a lot easier and gives them time to focus on delivering business value. In this article, I will share the most important things you need to run a Kubernetes stack in production.

This article is a part of a series on io_uring Series introduction Part 1: Introduction to io_uring. In this article we create cat_uring based on the raw io_uring interface and cat_liburing, built on the higher level liburing. Part 2: Queuing multiple operations: We develop a file copying program, cp_liburing leveraging multiple requests with io_uring. Part… Continue reading io_uring By Example: Part 3 – A Web Server with io_uring

The OWASP Top 10 is the reference standard for the most critical web application security risks. Adopting the OWASP Top 10 is perhaps the most effective first step towards changing your software development culture focused on producing secure code.

How We Used GitHub PRs In A Trunk-Based, Continuous Deployment Development Team

What’s the shortest URL for which content is served on the internet? There are quite a few single-letter second-level domains that are used in very short URLs, such as Google’s http://g.co or Facebook’s https://m.me. But we can go shorter than this: there’s nothing stopping TLD registry operators serving A records at the apexes of their TLD zones. For example, if Verisign (the operator of the com TLD registry) wished, they could add an A record at the apex of the com TLD zone – com would then resolve to that IP, and your browser would connect to that IP when you visited https://com.

The adoption of CI/CD tools has made delivering new features to customers faster than ever. A far cry from the weeks-long code freezes and everlasting pipeline stabilization sessions that my team commonly referred to as integration hell. But yesterday’s solutions have exposed the next big challenge for today’s developers; actually getting code merged.

Absent a time machine, telling others how to avoid my mistakes is the best I can do.
