I’m a believer in the power of frameworks, and for good reason — the bulk of my career as a programmer and technology leader involved the use of Rails. Durin...
How Databricks uses client-side load balancing to improve gRPC traffic, reduce tail latency, and handle ingress with real-time service discovery.
Burstable VMs run on a fraction of CPU and burst to a higher level of CPU usage to support occasional usage spikes. To implement them, we leveraged Control Groups v2 (cgroups v2), a Linux kernel feature that helps manage resource usage. We thought our open-source implementation of burstable VMs might be interesting…
So you’ve bought into this whole RPC thing and want to try it out, but aren’t quite sure about Protocol Buffers. Your existing code encodes your own objects, or perhaps you have code that needs a particular encoding. What to do? Fortunately, gRPC is encoding agnostic! You can still get a lot of the benefits of gRPC…

We're proud to announce that Apache Airflow 2.0.0 has been released.
Yes, hiding HTTP-referers on your outgoing links are still a thing. Even though standards evolved, they rely on your user having a current browser, which is really something outside of your control. Even then, many larger websites have technologies in place to mask the http-referer on outgoing links. This is to avoid…

What Observability 2.0 means in practice, how wide events replace siloed metrics/logs/traces, and why GreptimeDB is purpose-built as the database foundation.
We benchmarked OpenTelemetry overhead in a high-load Go app against eBPF-based instrumentation to see where tracing adds real cost.
So the search engine is moving to a new server soon, thanks to the generous grant mentioned recently. If you visit search.marginalia.nu now, it may or may not use the old or new server. It’ll be like this for a while, since I need them both for testing and maintenance type work. I’ll also apologize if this post is a…
