Learn how we enhanced TCP performance in Coder to achieve 5X faster throughput by optimizing buffer sizes, implementing the HyStart algorithm, and minimizing packet loss, significantly improving remote development experiences.
After many months of research, development and QA, Wasmi’s most significant update ever is finally ready for production use. Wasmi is an efficient and versatile WebAssembly (Wasm) interpreter with a focus on embedded environments. It is an excellent choice for plugin systems, cloud hosts and as smart contract…
It's possible to cut EC2 boot time from 40 seconds to 5 seconds by combining several optimizations like root volume streaming, instance warm pools, and instance resizing.
What Postgres for Everything means to a dev deploying all sorts of databases. Spoiler: it’s about collapsing your stack and keeping it simple.
Smudge.ai is a Chrome extension that gives you ChatGPT-powered shortcuts in your right-click menu.
Learn how we discovered what was slowing down large database queries, and what we did to make Postgres queries 1000x faster.
Datomic is a general-purpose database intended for systems of record. In many ways, Datomic is unusual. At any instant in time, the state of the database is represented by a set of [entity, attribute, value] ( EAV ) triples, known as datoms . Each datom declares that some entity (like a person) has a particular…

Introduction to the Temporal Python SDK and how Temporal is a durable, distributed asyncio event loop
From the Zed Blog: In this episode of Zed Decoded, Thorsten talks to Mikayla, who's been leading the effort to Zed working on Linux, about the Zed's Linux version and how it's taking shape
A few years ago, I wrote a "state of things" blog post about Wayland on NetBSD . It's only natural that I should do one about X11, which is used by far more people to get a graphical environment on NetBSD.
Serving Llama2-70B on an RTX4090 with Sequoia
From the Zed Blog: In this episode of Zed Decoded, Thorsten asks the founders — Nathan, Max, Antonio — about the data structures at the heart of Zed: Rope and SumTree.
Today, we would like to present a lesser-known feature of the Linux kernel. Instead of launching a program from a file system, regardless of whether it's virtual or not, it is also possible to embed a user-space program directly into the kernel image itself and start it from there.
How we cut build times by 50% and shipped a solution for scale.
Amazon MemoryDB for Redis is a database service designed for 11 9s of durability with in-memory performance. In this paper, we describe the architecture of MemoryDB and how we leverage open-source Redis, a popular data structure store, to build an enterprise-grade cloud database. MemoryDB offloads…
Ruby’s garbage collector is designed to be adaptable, scaling from short Ruby scripts to running apps that serve millions of requests per second. While it’s designed to be adaptable, it may not work optimally for every use case. For this reason, Ruby’s garbage collector supports many parameters that can be used to…
