Anyone doing DevOps work today should be asking, “Are the tools we are adopting ready for the heterogeneous hardware future?”

This is a repost of my previous blog article at the old domain. Source code can be found here Theory The central idea behind a regex engine is non-deterministic automata, NFA. While the name is scary

This was originally titled “Rails is not written in Ruby” but based on feedback, I decided to change the title. I’m born and raised in Kraków, a beautiful city in Poland, maybe you’ve heard about it, maybe you’ve even been here. In Poland we speak Polish, which is a really difficult language, it’s actually considered one of the top-10 most difficult languages to learn in the world. In Poland, just like in many other countries, there are regions where dialects are used rather than “the pure” form of the language, and so in my city, we have our own dialect.

How to adopt an evolutionary mindset and use feature requests as a breeding ground for the next generation of the system's architecture

Chances are you might have heard of io_uring. It first appeared in Linux 5.1, back in 2019, and was advertised as the new API for asynchronous I/O. Its goal was to be an alternative to the deemed-to-be-broken-beyond-repair AIO, the “old” asynchronous I/O API

A data mesh can flush out the cobwebs and bring order to an aging model, creating more manageable and scalable data architecture.

Only two quarters ago, AMD’s datacenter business – meaning sales of Epyc CPUs plus Instinct GPU accelerators – broke through $1 billion. And it was a big

Like a lot of people, I used to be a pathological maximalist. A phone with more features is necessarily better, a company with more people is better, a program with more lines of code is better, a house with more stuff is better. Until the day when reality hit me in the face: there is a direct relationship between “more” and “complexity”. The more a system is big and complex, the more we use our (limited) time and energy to do useless, busy work.

Whether we call it supercloud or distributed cloud, it serves the same need: simplifying the reality of operating in a multi-cloud world and making it possible to realize the aspirational capabilities of cloud.

Loading a BPF program into the kernel involves a lot of steps, including verification, permissions checking, linking to in-kernel helper functions, and compilation to the native instruction format. Underneath all of that, though, lies one other simple task: allocating some memory to store the compiled BPF program in the kernel's address space. It turns out that this allocation can be somewhat wasteful of memory in current kernels, especially on systems where large numbers of BPF programs are loaded. This patch set from Song Liu seeks to remedy this problem by introducing yet another specialized memory allocator into the kernel.
