How AWS S3 serves 1 petabyte per second on top of slow HDDs

AWS S3 doesn’t need fancy hardware. It wrings performance out ofcheap HDDs,log-structured merge trees, anderasure coding. The trick? Shard everything. Hit it in parallel. Randomized placementdodges hotspots.Hedged requestsrace the slowest links. And when things get lopsided, S3 rebalances - constant..

Automated GitHub Self-Hosted Runner Cleanup: Lambda Functions and Auto Scaling Lifecycle Hooks

When an EC2 instance in an Auto Scaling Group shuts down, event-driven plumbing kicks in. Alifecycle hookcatches the scale-in, fires off an SNS notification, and triggers aLambda. That Lambda calls the GitHub API to yank the self-hosted runner before the instance dies. No dangling runners. No manual..

How I Built My Kubernetes Command Toolkit: A Journey from kubectl Chaos to Command Mastery

A dev-built Kubernetes CLI framework reshapeskubectlfor how teams actually work. Commands get grouped by role - dev, SRE, sec, admin - instead of by resource. It bakes in defaults forKyvernopolicies, encourages muscle-memory workflows, and wires up real-time troubleshooting to shrink downtime in pro..

The Myths (and Costs) of Running Node.js on Kubernetes

Kubernetes struggles to scale Node.js efficiently due to a mismatch in resource usage patterns. Autoscaling can be sluggish with bursty traffic, leading to revenue risks and performance issues. Teams must rethink resource allocation and scaling strategies to optimize Node.js efficiency in Kubernetes..

Internal HTTPS Routing in Istio.

Istio finally bringsinternal HTTPS routingwithSNI-based traffic rules. Services in the mesh can now talk over port 443—TLS fully intact. Just like in prod. TLS terminates at the ingress gateway. Routing pivots on SNI, not headers. Which makes this much closer to real-world mTLS flows. What’s the pla..

Kubernetes for agentic apps: A platform engineering perspective

Agentic AI flips the old model. Instead of stateless, event-by-event workloads, we getstateful, self-steering systemsthat observe, reason, plan, and act - on loop. Kubernetes steps up as the OS for this next phase. Boosted by platform engineering, it brings the right mix:ephemeral compute, persisten..

Who’s Calling That API? A Detective Story from the Depths of EKS Networking

A production network got hammered by too many Auth0 token requests. The source? EKS workloads tucked behind a shared NAT Gateway. No easy trail. Engineers stitched it together usingVPC Flow Logs,pod-to-node maps, and some sharpIstio ServiceEntry logs. Even with Kubernetes CNI doing its NAT-obscuring..

Reo.Dev Secures $4M to Boost AI Platform for Developer Companies
FAUN.dev() is a developer-first platform built with a simple goal: help engineers stay sharp without wasting their time. It curates practical newsletters, thoughtful technical blogs, and useful developer tools that focus on signal over noise.

Created by engineers, for engineers, FAUN.dev() is where experienced developers turn to keep up with the fast-moving world of DevOps, Kubernetes, Cloud Native, AI, and modern programming. We handpick what matters and skip the fluff.

If it’s on FAUN.dev(), it’s worth your attention.

Beyond curation, we run a course marketplace (WIP) designed to keep developers current. These courses go deep into the subjects that shape real-world work—things like Kubernetes internals, modern DevOps workflows, cloud-native architecture, and using AI tools to build faster and smarter. It’s practical learning, taught by people who’ve done the work. Developers from companies like GitHub, Netflix, and Shopify already rely on FAUN.dev() to stay on top of their game. They trust us because we keep it real: no hype, no filler, just what you need to grow and do your best work. For sponsors and partners, FAUN.dev() offers access to a focused, engaged audience of technical professionals. This isn’t just another broad developer community—it’s a place where smart engineers go to get smarter. If you have something meaningful to offer them, you’ll be in good company. In short, FAUN.dev() is more than a content hub. It’s a place to grow, to learn, and to connect with what really matters in software today.
