AWS. Google Cloud. Azure. CrowdStrike. All hit hard by dumb bugs with big blast radii - race conditions, nulls, misfired configs. Small cracks. Massive fallout. AWS's DNS automation knocked out its DynamoDB endpoint, dragging 113 services down with it. Google Cloud’s global APIs fell over from a str..

Google’s Addy Osmani dropped a stat: AI now writesover 30% of the codeat Google. Impressive. But the hard part - the last 30% - still needs a human brain. That’s where the bugs live:security, edge cases, production wiring. No shortcut. And while AI adoption keeps climbing in greenfield work,trust is..

A fresh guide reframes HTTP caching as less of a tweak, more of an architectural move. It breaks caching into layers - browser memory, CDNs, reverse proxies, app stores - and shows how each one plays a part (or gets in the way). It gets granular with headers likeCache-Control,ETag, andVary, calling ..

A deep dive into 200,650 Rust crates shows a brewing maintenance problem:45% are inactive, andover half of new crates never see a second update- a wild jump from just 1.4% in 2015. Zoom in on the top 1,000 crates, and it gets messier.249 dependencies have been abandoned, and158 are stuck on older ma..

Go 1.25 drops an experimental GC calledGreen Tea. It flips the script on object traversal - scanning memory pages instead of hopping from object to object. The payoff? Up to40% less GC CPU overheadon real workloads. Bonus: it taps intoAVX-512on newer x86 chips forvectorized scanning. Turns out strea..

A new stealth rootkit calledLinkProjust surfaced, taking aim at AWS-hosted Linux boxes. It blends two customeBPF programsfor deep concealment and remote activation via magic packets. The path in?CVE-2024-23897—an RCE on a public Jenkins server. From there, attackers slipped into Amazon EKS clusters,..

Learn how to manage secrets with the External Secrets Operator and plug it into Argo CD to power your Internal Developer Platform without manual management, enabling self-service secrets management and secure connections between workload clusters and the control plane. With a chain of trust between ..

Buildkite just added a major revamp of its Kubernetes Agent Stack. Highlights:REST-based config,leaner K8s objects, andhardened security defaults. It handlestens of thousands of concurrent jobswithout breaking a sweat. Shared environment vars cut down pod config noise. Error messages come with full ..

Airbnb runs distributed databases across multiple Kubernetes clusters - each tied to its own AWS Availability Zone. That setup isolates failures down to individual pods and keeps the whole system highly available. They built a custom Kubernetes operator and leaned on EBS volumes with PVCs to smooth ..

OneUptime ditched the cloud bill and rolled their own dual-site setup. Thinkbare metal, orchestrated withMicroK8s, booted byTinkerbell, patched together withCeph,Flux, andTerraform. Result?99.993% uptimeand$1.2M/year saved—76% cheaper than even well-optimized AWS. They run it all with just~14 engine..
