Production-grade engineering for people who ship backends at scale. Distributed systems, database internals, and the trade-offs you only learn in on-call.
Six reads that show what the rest of the library looks like — start here.
From 5-second startup to 50ms. The Java migration that changes K8s scaling math, with every production gotcha and a reproducible benchmark.
ReadWire thousands of API endpoints to an LLM agent without blowing the context window. Code Mode pattern + full Go implementation, security flow visualised.
ReadSame API in Spring Boot and Gin. Identical load tests on Fargate, real numbers on throughput, latency, GC pauses, and a methodology you can reproduce.
ReadWhy every scalable cache, database, and load balancer ends up here. Karger's derivation, Cassandra vnodes, and the rendezvous-hashing alternative.
ReadThe error-budget framework that turns reliability arguments into data. Multi-window burn-rate alerting, grounded in the SRE Book.
ReadWhy most RAG prototypes fail in production. Chunking, embedding versioning (1536-dim default + Matryoshka), pgvector tuning, eval pipeline.
