System Architecture

A primer on what developers need to know about WebAssembly, what it’s used for, its pros and cons, and what the future may hold for Wasm.

What is GCP? In this article, we explore Google Cloud Platform, its key features, and the skills needed to thrive in this field.

We are still plowing through the many, many presentions from the Hot Interconnects, Hot Chips, Google Cloud Next, and Meta Networking @ Scale conferences that all happened recently and at essentially the same time. And we intend to take our usual, methodical approach of finding the interesting bits and doing some analysis on what we

For the past decade or so, we have been convinced by quite a large number of IT suppliers that security functions, network and storage virtualization functions, and even the server virtualization hypervisor for carving up compute itself should be offloaded from servers to intermediaries somewhat illogically called data processing units, or DPUs. And so the

Howdy, tech aficionados 😎! NGINX, the rockstar of reverse proxy and load balancing, is here to dazzle your developer senses. If you’re…

Reverse

distributed system pattern

1. Hashed IP addresses are used to assign a position for the nodes 2. Hash ring is traversed until a node is found

Based on what Intel has been saying for the past several weeks in various events, but especially the Hot Chips 2023 a few weeks ago and the more recent Intel Innovation 2023 extravaganza, the company’s foundry process roadmap and its server processor roadmaps are going to align harmoniously to make the Xeon SP family of

Vector search engines are an important new database feature with multiple architectural challenges, including scale-out, garbage collection, concurrency, effective use of disk, and composability. Here is how DataStax added these features to Astra DB.

The recent release also includes improvements for logical representations, which support new architectures, and superuser permissions.

This blog post explores the emergence of event-driven architectures (EDAs) and the components that make up event-driven systems. It also presents two fundamental design patterns that help illustrate how the components of event-driven architectures work together.

Give platform teams workflows and checklists for building provisioning into their platforms.

Platform team workflows and checklists for building security, pipelines, provisioning, connectivity, orchestration, and observability into their platform.

What's the difference between a data warehouse, data lake, lakehouse, and data mesh? Here's a whirlwind guide.

When it comes to natural disasters, every second counts—and the clock may just be ticking a little slower following a collaboration between Terra Quantum and Honda Research Institute Europe (HRI-EU). By entangling quantum computing with traditional algorithms, the team has paved a 'superposition' of escape routes designed to evacuate people more quickly and efficiently in

Network telemetry is a technology for gaining network insight and facilitating efficient and automated network management. It encompasses various techniques for remote data generation, collection, correlation, and consumption. This document describes an architectural framework for network telemetry, motivated by challenges that are encountered as part of the operation of networks and by the requirements that ensue. This document clarifies the terminology and classifies the modules and components of a network telemetry system from different perspectives. The framework and taxonomy help to set a common ground for the collection of related work and provide guidance for related technique and standard developments.

Proximity is the workspace management platform that connects people and places. Solutions for the workplace, coworking space, flex space and CRE.

Most new cars come with some form of keyless entry, whether it’s a proximity key or a push-button start. Here’s how these features work and what they do.

Discover a practical solution for the Dual Write Problem in distributed systems using the Outbox Pattern. This guide presents a C# demo app with MongoDB, Kafka, and Debezium, illustrating reliable data propagation between services.

Here is a real-time solution architecture using Redpanda and Aerospike to support millisecond latency bidding decisions.

Heterogeneous computing is clearly here to stay but now’s the time to get down to brass tacks and start addressing standards, portability, and other elements common to maturing technologies. The need to integrate various types of processors, including CPUs, GPUs, and specialized chips for AI and other applications is clear, thus today we’re met with
